I need to make this cake for the weekend.
Any ideas how the rollerskates are off the sheet cake? I originally thought it was on a cake plate, but I am not sure. I checked out the pics in the gallery for a few of the rollerskate cakes and it looks like the cakes are just put on top of each other. These appear to be two seperate roller skates...
BTW, what is Tube 4?
Shaped Cake
CONTEST WINNERS
FIRST PRIZE of $100 and a beribboned CELEBRATE! II medal to Mrs. Leroy Mc Cann of Oxford, Ohio for her truly ingenious Roller Skate cake.
"Foot" part of skates were two 2" slices cut from the end of a 9" x 13" sheet cake.
"Toes", wheels and skate stops were cut from a 6" square single layer.
"Ankles" were two cakes baked in regular size soup cans, half-filled with batter.
Assembled skates were positioned atop decorated sheet cake, secured by dowel rods and gently iced.
Tube 4 was used to add stitching, laces, trim and colorful pompons (over icing mounds).
tube #4 is a round writing tip...Like the # 3 only slightly larger
LOL! I don't know what I was thinking! Tube must have meant tip! I think I will use #233 to get better coverage. There is no way I am going to pipe individual strings!
Thanks! Anyone have any ideas how they raised the skates?
