Cake Made To Look Like A Mound Of Nachos
Decorating By Hcraley24 Updated 10 Sep 2011 , 5:05pm by katie725
I have another order for a cake that is to resemble Nachos, It needs to feed at least 60 so I was thinking a tiered cake with "chips" covering it. Customer only wants orange "cheese" on the nachos so no other toppings.
Anyone have any ideas for this one? Thanks so much 
Can you make the plate where the Nachos are sitting cake as well? I think it would help the over all look and it being more to scale with a real plate of Nachos.
I have done many taco cakes with nachos with the tacos...I guess you could make the bowl out of cake, and then add the nachos on top. I roll out gum paste and texture it with a texture mat that has little bumps on it. I put them on those flower half round plastic things that Wilton and other makes to make them curl...let them dry for a day or two. I then airbrush them here and there with some tan coloring, peach coloring and I have this one orange that is kind of a lighter orange.
For the cheese, that part is easy. I put a bunch of piping gel in my orange velvetta colored buttercream and then just pipe the cheese on it...
I hope this helps! Oh and I also cut up green and red fondant "pieces" to make it look like a little salsa is on them
