a lady called and she wants a wrestling themed cake. But she really wants a wrestling belt cake. I believe in the shape of a wrestling belt. any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Do you mean something like this?

I think you could carve this from a half sheet, do fondant decorations and hand paint with luster dust and other colors.

maybe these can help! Pat

Let me tell you the mistakes I made on mine so you know what not to do!!! I made a 3" plus cake which was too high. I had to add cut paper plates to hold up the fondant on the sides flat plus I put marshmallows under for support. It was for a friend so I can do that kind of stuff. If I had to do it again, I would make 2 - 2" with one smaller than the other for the sides. Cut smaller one to put on the sides of the round one. I was trying 2 leave the cake underneath with buttercream but it looked funny so I covered it in fondant. You could use a sheet cake too. I did decorate the round cake 1st & then added the sides straps. Hopefully, someone will give you ideas on holding up the sides or doing them in general. Do a search here because there are some great ones. Mine was for a teacher & I had trouble thinking of a wrestler name for him. Allen the Expeller was all I could come up with. I squished the "Birthday Mania". Too much work for not coming out right. I was looking forward to doing this for months & was disappointed. If the picture is not attached, you can see it in my photos.

Are they stuck on the belt? How about a wrestling ring although putting the ropes on wasn't easy. I have one of those in my pics too. Good Luck! [/img]
