This Voting Day it was my friend's birthday. Since her favourite hobby is reading I wanted to make her a book cake.
What you need
- Rectangle Cake
- Buttercream icing
- Fondant icing
- Knife
- Rolling pin
- Spatula
- Cake board
Step 1: Cut the rectangle cake in the middle to look like an open book.
Step 2: Cover the cake in buttercream. This helps the fondant to stick to the cake. It doesn't matter what colour you use because no one is going to see it.
Step 3: Roll out the fondant and place it over the cake.
Step 4: Use the leftover fondant and colour it a darker shade. Then cut out small strips to use as an outline to the pages.
