My son is mad rat and five male pet rats of his own, so when his birthday came really don't have to think very long.I based on shape and colouring of his, Homestyle Rat Birthday Cake on his favorite rat "bolt".
First baked a cake of marble (choc and vanilla) in a pan loaf by using a method based on Madeira.Once refrigerated cold during the night to make it easier to carve.
The next day forms the cake in a sort of elongated egg with a serrated knife. Then iced cake all buttercream with a base in natural colouring. I left that to set a while and then used a piping bag to apply the colorization of Hood I used a fork to add texture to coat the rat.
The nose and ears and tail were made also of pink frosting fudge and small white teeth fondant. dark chocolate shavings for eyes and, finally, mustache of spaghetti. He is sitting on a fondant "hammock" with paw prints, painted over with food colours and the candles are seated in a bowl filled with clean rat cake cuttings and iced to match the cake.
Thanks for watching my little cake!
