And this guy isn’t so bad. But the photos of the example cake, well, they were kinda creepy. And you know what, if I have to make a creepy-ass clown cake then I’m gonna go ALL OUT.
It says “Can’t sleep, Clowns will eat me!” And, may I just say, it’s pretty 
much impossible to get really black icing {red is no cake walk either…ha ha, cake walk, see what I did there?}. But, whatever. I still had fun in class, even if my colors were a bit disappointing. Did you notice the angry eyebrows? I added those myself with black nail polish, for that extra evil clown touch. I also piped a “666” on his back in red icing.

It’s a mocha cake with whipped espresso filling. OH MY GOD THE FILLING IS SO DELICIOUS! And it’s super easy to make. Here’s my recipe {which I created by improvising on a recipe I found online for a Kahlua filling because I didn’t have any Kahlua}.
Whipped Espresso Filling
aka
THE BEST THING TO EVER COME OUT OF THE DOMESTIC DORK’S KITCHEN
1 cup whipping cream
1/3 cup sugar
whip until fluffy then fold in1/2 package chocolate pudding mixan equal amount powdered cappuccino mix and2 tbs. espressowhip until fully blended and fluffychill at least 30 minutes and try not to eat it all straight from the bowl
I'm supposed to be going to bed, not craving cake! :)

ReplyDeleteThat is the most amazing food coloring I have ever used. When you squeeze in a little of the black you actually get black icing. Oh and they come in little squeeze bottles so no more tooth picking out globs of gel. I highly recommend that set of colors. They are fabulous!
This post has me all sorts of laughing. Dude, the 666 on the back (where's the picture of THIS) is the most creative part of this scary ass clown cake!! The eyebrows, ummmmm fabulous! The black icing..... yuuuummmm!
ReplyDeleteHilarious! In some ways though, I think the big 'ole yellow clown is even creepier. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteAnd oh. my. gosh. CANNOT wait to make the mocha deliciousness cake and filling. It brilliant!
He's so deliciously Evil!
ReplyDeleteIf I was in this cake decorating class with you I would have been in hysterics, so it's probably good I'm not.
Too funny! I think you did a great job, the cake looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy husbands grandma collected clowns, so when she passed away she left them to the kids..so I have an attic full of them, EEK!
