Coming so soon after the Cub Scout Blue and Gold cake contest, I was exhausted, and feeling discouraged at the thought of having to make 2 more cakes. Thankfully, the boys came up with some pretty simple designs. I cheated this time, and used a boxed cake mix, since there was no structural stability worries.
Jeffrey decided on a pizza cake, which was fun and easy. Just used a 10" springform pan. I iced the cake with a tan frosting. The center was frosted with red to look like sauce. Then, I loaded white/off-white frosting into a bag, and Jeffrey piped it on with a grass tip for the cheese. The "pepperoni" was made with a reddish marshmallow fondant. Red is hard to make. It was more of a brownish pink. So after cutting out the circles, Jeffrey painted them with some almond extract tinted with a little red and brown. Voila! Pepperoni! It looked so convincing of the guests didn't want to eat it at first, because he didn't think pepperoni would taste very good on cake.
I assured him it wasn't real pepperoni.
Jack wanted Kirby. Isn't he cute?
He was made from a 10" springform pan for the head/body. Arms and legs were cut from the loaf cake I had originally made when Jeffrey wanted to make Mordor. Pink and red frosting. Eyes were made with marshmallow fondant, and outlined with black gel icing (Duff brand). Mouth was from the same.
