I am about to make my first baby blocks cakes: four 6x3 cakes that spell B-A-B-Y, the client sent a pic where the "A" is stacked up above the B's. How can I safely achieve this effect when the two B's must be spaced apart? Also, what is the most efficient way to trim the blocks in pink fondant for a mitered edge look, as wooden and painted blocks would look?
any help is appreciatedto reduce my anxiety...the cake is for Saturday!!!
I would place the "A" on a sturdy cake board or foamcore and then use dowel rods on the corners/edges of the "B"'s that will support the "A". Probably want to do one longer dowel all the way through each side of the "A" and down through the "B"'s so it would stay in place during transport - if that is required.
Hope this makes sense.
YES! that makes perfect sense! I have to drive it about 30 miles to deliver! Thank you soooo much!
In terms of adding the fondant, I would cut out square panels, let dry for a little while, and apply to the sides/top of the cakes. You can always fill in the edges with royal icing coloured to match, and smoothed with a damp finger or paintbrush. Or strips of fondant glued in, in a contrasting colour, or the same colour as the letters on the blocks.
