This was a special request for my friend's 10 year old nephew. He had personally asked me to make him a pizza cake for his birthday. Following the tip of many CC cake decorators, I used strawberry roll-ups for the pepperoni. The "cheese" is piped white buttercream. To get the "baked" look on the buttercream crust, (I didn't have a gas torch to flame it) I did have a regular candle lighter, so I sprinkled a little bit of sugar on the "crust" and lit it up with the lighter to caramelize the sugar.... and there you have my best interpretation of a "baked deep dish pepperoni pizza" cake!
