Homemade SuperWhy! Birthday cake

SuperWhy! decorated cakes are not readily available in grocery stores, bakeries as a neighbor asked if I could have done his 3 year old a SuperWhy! Birthday cake. I accepted gladly.

I had the SuperWhy! images (SuperWhy, balloons and because the author) from website PBSKids. they have a page of really cool design center for parents and teachers.Basically, you can get a coloring page for any desired character of PBS out I used a pan Square 12 x 12 and used the gel piping method for transferring images on the cake of analysis. I know that another decorator said it didn't work well for you, but it worked well for me.

Balloons, SuperWhy and the author because they were three separate images, so a good tip is to make sure you tape all three photos together, outdistanced the way you want them on the cake and then pipe the gel trace as a great image. Is too difficult to get them on the cake as separate images.

The basic buttercream frosting is just. I discussed to outline everything in black and decided not to. I described the whole color that I was going to use in that section, but caused some problems in the area of the body (hard to see the arms vs. Hood, body, etc.), then I suggest at least outline the body in black.

I used the tip # 14 main decoration. I used the tip # 17 by the hair, and it came out great.As regards the colors were mixed custom go.I used the greenest different to get the color shown, and also applies to blue.A useful tip is the color of the skin.I used the copper as usual suggested for the tone of the skin, but it was too pale, so I added some brown to make it a bit hotter.The bottom edge was done in tip # 21 and the top was done in tip # 14.As can happen with any proposed transfer, after the image was on the cake, I had a lot of white space ' emptiness ', especially to the left of SuperWhy!.

To fill the gap I used sprinkles in the shape of stars and their dissemination only slightly. Added a nice touch and it went very well with the theme, and especially in the empty space is filled. I do a lot with my sweet. maintain sprinkles in all colors, shapes and sizes from side for just this purpose. my neighbor was really pleased, and her son went crazy when he saw SuperWhy!, especially with writing because in his hand. her smile was worth the work!!Decoration happy!
