Kristin's Rubber Ducky Cake
Design Instructions:
1. Gather all your equipment necessary to bake
and decorate you cake.
2. Pre Heat your oven to the proper temperature
(usually 350').
3. Prepare Cake batter as directed by any cake recipe. I
used a traditional butter cake recipe. Fill an oval cake pan ½ way full with
batter.
4. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the
cake.
5. While the cake is baking, gather and prepare the ingredients to
make your icing. Or you can purchase already prepared icing. I chose to make
homemade vanilla buttercream.
6. After the cake is baked, and set aside
with time to cool, create a hollow oval section in the center of the cake with a
knife and spoon. (This will be the tub basin.)
7. Roll handles, bubbles,
a soap bar and a faucet out of Rolled fondant and set aside to dry. You can
either decorate the handles with icing or gold dragees to differentiate between
Hot and Cold. And use lettered cookie cutters to get a ?SOAP? impression on the
bar.
8. With most icing set aside, color the remaining of your icing
blue for the water, border and writing.
9. Frost the entire cake white,
pipe the border, and write the caption with the blue icing.
Fill the hollowed center with the remainder, and use a spoon to create waves.
10. Place the handles and faucet into the cake, and randomly place the
bubbles around.
11. Place your store bought rubber duckies into the
water as if they were swimming.
12. Lastly, enjoy your beautiful cake, that looks as good as
it tastes!!
