Hi all!
So, I have made all of the fondant peices for my slot machine cake but no idea how to go about the actual cake part! I am assuming it's going to need to have dowels, but how the heck do I make the slot machine shape? I have been trying to figure it out for days! Time to ask the infinite wisdom of the CC folks!

Thanks!!

what kind?

got a pic of what you're trying to do?

(many styles)

simplest would just be a flat slab of cake.

I love that cake! It's been saved in my favs for a while. I too would like any advice on this cake. My bday is on 7-7-7 this year and I think I"m going to have a huge party! (And make my own cake, of course!) icon_biggrin.gif

Hopefully we'll both get some great advice (though I have plenty of time still). icon_wink.gif

by no means the definitive method...

but here's one possible variation.

nothing but lots of layers stacked.

sort of like a 3 tier stacked cake w/ each tier a different part -- base, mid and top.

I'd make the top 1/2 the width of the bottom and then carve the slant in middle appropriately.

cake boards of course at each major change, w/ dowels -- lots of them

the rounded part on the midsection could be fondant or gumpaste formed over a soup can and allowed to harden.


most of the work on this cake is all the detailing and painting!
