Carolyn & I made this cheeseburger and fries cake for her son's birthday. The burger is chocolate cake and the bun is covered in fondant painted with food coloring. The sesame seeds are white fondant cut with a #3 icing tip and slightly elongated. The mayonnaise is whipped cream frosting. The veggies & cheese are fondant. The fries are yellow cake baked in small rectangular pans and cut to size. The catsup is pureed strawberries.
It took both of us about 5 hours to decorate the cake. The bun color was created by mixing a little gel color with a couple drops of water and brushed on separately using first orange and some yellow, then blending a little watered brown over this until reaching the desired colors. |
