How to Make a Clown Cake Sep 15th 2012, 08:00 With a mixture and assortment of different candies, this clown cake will bring smiles to the faces of the kids at a fun party. It's an ideal addition to a child's party featuring clowns, magic tricks and circus or performance themes. Edit Ingredients 1 large sponge cake 1 small sponge cake Buttercream frosting Blue food coloring Flying saucers Dolly mixtures Chocolate buttons (giant) Smarties candies (small chocolate buttons coated in candy) Red sugar paste (or frosting) Strawberry laces (can use Twizzlers or stringy candy) Marshmallows Edit Steps Cut the small sponge cake into a triangular shape. Curve the bottom into a small arch instead of a straight line. Use the two side pieces that you carved out from the original cake and cut a third piece off from the opposite ends of each piece. The curved triangle will become the complete hat and the small piece will be the hat rim Frost the large sponge cake with the buttercream frosting. Use a smooth, palette knife to give it a solid stroke all around. Mix the blue food coloring with the remaining frosting that you didn't use. Use the new blue frosting with the hat. Place a few of the flying saucers down the center of the hat. Make the rim by lining it with some dolly mixtures. Use two chocolate buttons as eyes for the clown. Put a dab of buttercream on two smartie candies and stick it on the eyes for eyeballs. Take a few Smarties (or similar candies) and form a "U" shape for the mouth. Roll a chunk of red sugarpaste into a ball. Make it quite large, as it should dominate the cake to give it the real "clown feel". Place this on the cake for the nose. Arrange strawberry laces around the sides of the face for hair. Use white and pink marshmallows around the cake's bottom for the ruff (or collar). Serve. Candles can be added around the face for a birthday cake. Edit Tips If you want a more "kid-feeling" cake, substitute any candies or items for other food choices. For the eyes, use Oreo cookies instead of buttons. Use another food coloring to change the clown's hat color. Mix two primary colors (choose from blue, red, or yellow) to create green, orange, etc. Edit Things You'll Need Sharp kitchen knife Clean flat work surface Palette knife Suitable cake plate or platter Bowl for frosting Edit Related wikiHows How to Make Sticky Toffee Pudding How to Make a Sand Castle Cake How to Make an Excavator Cake How to Make a Cowboy Cake How to Make Cupcake Pretzels Edit Sources and Citations VideoJug, http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-make-a-clown-cake - Original source of information, shared with permission Article Tools Read on wikiHow Email this Article Edit Discuss Media files: 200px-Clown1_650.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown2_858.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown3_871.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown4_935.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown5_996.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown5_978.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown7_560.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown8_472.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown9_114.PNG (image/png) 200px-Clown10_110.PNG (image/png)
