Step by Step Halloween Spooktacular Cake!

Nothing better than having creative freedom to design and execute a Halloween spooktacular cake! Here at The Cake Boutique we LOVE minions and we LOVE Halloween so when given the chance to design a totally awesome Halloween cake we knew we had to combine our two loves! Check out how this cake came to be!

First 2 cakes are cut and filled. Once is rounded at the top.

The cakes are then "dirty iced" to seal in the crumbs.

Wooden supports are added to the bottom cake.

A little buttercream is added on the top of the bottom cake...

and the rounded cake is placed on top.

More wooden dowels are added for more support. 

"Dirty ice" is added to smooth the two cake together.

Next the cake is covered in lime green fondant. 

White fondant is rolled out and cut into a circle...

can you guess what it will become?!

Red food coloring is used to make veins.

Red luster is added...

Another white fondant circle is used to make a ring.

Silver highlighter is added to the ring.

Brown fondant is now rolled out.

A smaller circle is cut.

Texture is added using a roller. 

A little shimmer luster is added. 

The brown circle is added to the white and ring.

A baller tool is used to create an indent.

Black rolled fondant is added to the center. 

Did you guess an eyeball?!

Indents are added along the ring. 

A little water is added and small silver balls are placed in the holes.

Black fondant is cut into a strip. 

With a little water the strip is added to the cake. 

Next, the eyeball is added.

A thicker blue strip is cut. 

It is added to the bottom of the cake. 

Thinner blue strips are cut. 

The are added in a semi circle on top of the thicker blue strip. 

The excess blue fondant is rolled and cut into 2 equal pieces. 

They are placed on the board. 

A stitching is rolled over the blue to give is a sewed look. 

White circles are cut.

Using a knife they are cut into more organic shapes. 

They are placed on the cake to look like teeth. 

Red food coloring is added to look like blood. 

Dark pink fondant is added to the head to look like brains! 

More food coloring is added. 

Rolled green fondant is added to look like an arm. 

Holes are placed on the top of the cake...

and thin black fondant is added to look like hair.
