Decorating By candyapplekc Updated 11 Apr 2010 , 12:43am by ceshell
Hi CC'ers, I have been searching the threads trying to find tutorials or information on how to make the "burst effect" that a character or objext jumps out from. I have seen Elmo, Superman, and football cakes that have the fondant cut open and it looks like the character is bursting through the cake. Can some please tell me how to do this. I would like to do this with a football cake for next week.
Thanks all![/img]
You could also try making "fondant paper tears", here's the tutorial by Wilton:

I just covere the cake in one layer, cut the triangles and peel them back, I used tissue paper balls to support the cutouts so that they can keep the shape,
u can see my version of the elmo surprise cake at

HTH : ) good luck
I recently did a music cake using the same method as annia. I did have a bit of a challenge the first attempt, with the 2nd layer of fondant wanting to stick to the first layer. When I tried again I actually put down a small circle of parchment paper under my "target" cutting area, cut the lines, and then pulled out the parchment after peeling back my fondant "bursts."
