I need some creative ideas! I need to make a cake that looks like the hood of a truck with an exhaust pipe coming out the top. The pipe needs to blow black smoke. I told them I was not a magician but I sure would give it a shot. Lol. I think dry ice will not give me the effect I need and a smoke bomb is not really safe indoors ….technically…..

I will get some cotton candy and dust it with dark cocoa powder. Do not play around with chemicals, you might have a bad reaction of the ingredients and/or toxic stuff around. Make it safe and simple.

I’m glad you told your customer you’re not a magician. I agree with ReginaColeiB…. I wouldn’t mess with any chemicals. And although cotton candy is a good suggestion, it doesn’t last long. Starts to deteriorate pretty quickly. I can only say for me, I would use spring roll wrappers, dyed black, and shaped to look like a plume of smoke. Glue onto the opening of exhaust pipe with chocolate.

what about a baster or something like that and fill it with black cocoa --then when it's squeezed... idk that would be fraught with problems  -- maybe a plastic syringe they use for barbecue-ing? an iv bag you could step on attached to a tube or something?

y'know the things you light and they make black snakey things -- that might work
