Baked Potato Toppings / Sour Cream??
Decorating By CreationsbyNicole Updated 2 Nov 2013 , 12:39am by CreationsbyNicole
Hey All!
So I am making a steak dinner cake for my Mom next month and I think I totally got the texture down for the steak, which I am very excited about!!
But I am stuck on the baked potato. I'm pretty sure that I am going to make it out of RKT and then cover it in fondant but what about the sour cream? I thought about marshmallow fluff or thinner buttercream but I need it to be pretty sturdy.
I'm thinking colored piping gel and a pad of pale yellow fondant for the butter.
I want to make the potato "loaded" (that's how she likes them). How do you think I should make the chives/bacon bits?
Part of the reason I am at such a loss with this one is that I am going to be shipping it 1500 miles! Ouch, I know! So, I really need it all to hold up during shipping. I'm going to pack it with dry ice too.
Thanks for your help!
I would definitely use a regular buttercream for the sour cream. Marshmallow fluff sort of just flattens out and may run on you.
You could color coconut green for the chives OR you can color a little bit of fondant green, let it dry, then use a cheese grater to grate small pieces of the green to resemble chives. You can also use that same idea for the chives.
Great fondant steak!
I am in Texas and its going to Mom in Connecticut! There's a photo of two mini flower pot cakes in my photos that I shipped to her on Mothers Day and they made it in remarkably good shape, I was shocked!

I likes the idea of BC until I read 1500 miles. I would consider using fondant. The cheese grater is a great idea.
You can make the white part of the potato a little lumpy with a sheen, grate the green for your chives and for the bacon I would make a small square of kinda marbled fondant so when you cut pieces out like bacon bits there is a varied color.
You can also make a pat of butter and make it dripping. Sounds like a fun project. Love the steak!
I pack it in dry ice, and secure the board to the box with a piece of duct tape underneath. Lots and lots of peanuts and notices on the box....."This Side Up" etc.... There was actually a really great tutorial I found on here a while back, I don't remember who posted it though, sorry.
Thanks for the input everyone!!
