1st time to make a helmet cake. I did not get the frosting smooth. Everytime I tried to smooth it with parchment, the frosting just kept sticking to it. Next time, I will cover with fondant. I was not really sure how the face guard was shaped. I always learn a lot the first time I make a new cake.
Great job. I've made 2 helmet cakes and the guards are the most difficult part. Did you try a crusting buttercream recipe? That always works for me. I also use the Melvira Method.
You did a very good job. The helmet shape is perfect. Go Cowboys!!!
Great helmet! Looks difficult, haven't tried one yet.
Oh my...I've never seen a helmet cake. Tell me what kind of pan, etc. I have a grandson who is Cowboy crazy and this would be perfect for him. His 17th birthday is in 2 months. What a great cake!!!
:lol: I am such a cowboy fan!! This cake rocks!
