(Editor’s word: This cake was made for a Yugioh theme, nevertheless it appears way more applicable on this class…)
I baked muffins in a 10-inch pyramid mildew (bought on-line) and a 14-inch sq. cake pan. Use a pound cake recipe, or add a field of on the spot pudding and an additional egg for every field of cake combine (use one with out the pudding, like Duncan Hines).
They’re iced with a stiff white icing, for a clean fondant-like look. I discovered a Yugioh graphic from a web-based seek for the Millennium Puzzle, enlarged it in Print Store to suit the Yugioh character cake, after which printed on card inventory and lower the surface items to type a template.
After the icing developed a “crust” I smoothed the icing with parchment paper after which etched a sample onto both sides of the cake making an attempt to watch out to match-up the strains from both sides (knife, icing spatula and so on.). I delicately brushed Gold Luster Mud onto the cake with a “soft” sable brush (a stiff brush will go away marks).
The cake is on a stiff piece of cardboard (lower one inch wider than cake). As you sweep the cake with the luster mud it should inevitably fall to the board. Simply brush this mud into the board, because it wont come off anyway (the bonus is that it appears to be like nice!). One other concept is to cowl the cardboard with gold cake foil as a substitute.
Subsequent, I painted the puzzle strains with non-diluted black paste icing coloration and a tremendous tipped brush, piped the underside corners and the “eye” and within the heart of every aspect with stiff white icing and a big spherical icing tip (#12). I smoothed the corners with my fingers.
Tube icing, like within the ones carried by the grocery retailer, could be nice to make use of. It is extremely stiff and develops a pleasant crust. It may be used proper from the tube with no tip, simply bear in mind to maintain it very near the cake. Once more I let the icing dry and brushed with the gold mud.
The 14-inch cake can also be iced with stiff icing and smoothed with parchment; positioned on a cake board coated with gold cake foil and a hand-painted birthday greeting on aspect in copper paste coloration and tremendous tipped brush.
The ten-inch cake wants help or it should finally sink into the underside cake. Stick 5 stiff straws within the backside cake (4 corners and a middle one) and lower them “level” as near the icing as attainable and place the ten inch cake on prime of the straws to ensure it’s not tilting.
As soon as your pleased with the cake, use a little bit of icing below the ten″ cake board to assist maintain the cake from sliding whereas transferring it. I hope you discover these tips about easy methods to embellish a cake helpful.

This was for a “Mysteries of Ancient Egypt” themed birthday celebration. For a base, I used a half sheet chocolate cake… and the pyramid is chocolate cake too. I iced each with peanut butter icing and sprinkled with graham cracker crumbs for sand. The Sphinx is made from sweet clay (white chocolate & corn syrup) and the King Tut masks is molded chocolate. Small plastic palm timber accomplished the look.
