Ice Skater Cake Topper

Product Information

Here’s what the ice skate cake topper looks like fully laced. You’ll notice that I have a bit of plastic wrap in the upper corner. I like to cover up the fondant ice skate cake topper so that it remains pliable. You can easily make a simple cake using a rectangle pan then edge with mini marshmallows to make this cute cake. Depending on how tall your cake layers are, you’ll want to cut either two or three number 1 cake layers from the square birthday cake. You can also add more cake layers to the ice skating cake to serve more guests. For a bonus detail, cut out the birthday girl’s first initial from light blue fondant. Again, use the yellow guide rings. I ended up putting the fondant E onto the cake board itself later to personalize the cake for Elise. Print my free printable number 1 cake template and place onto the frozen cake. Use a serrated knife to cut out the number 1.

The 3D Ice Skate cake can be adapted to suit different genders – not to mention different sports – and the skills learned will help you make all kinds of designs. This cake would be brilliant for a birthday celebration or for a fancy sporting event – the possibilities are endless! I’ve already included an ombre cake in this list but you can use the recipe for that one to make this pretty design – top with an ice skate topper or something else winter themed. Here’s how the cake looks with just the sanding sugar. You could really stop here and have a nice, pretty 10th birthday cake. Sanding sugar is a really easy and pretty way to decorate birthday cakes. First, you’ll want to ice your cakes. I usually make the Cakegirls buttercream recipe but because the sanding sugar is also sweet I wanted to use a less-sweet buttercream recipe. I used this buttercream icing recipe, but I have to say, you could probably find a better one out there that tastes less like butter.

Pink cupcakes with cute snowflake sprinkles are perfect for an ice skating party treat. Now roll a little bit of white fondant into a skinny rope. Cut pieces of the fondant rope and wiggle into the laces. Repeat until the entire ice skate cake topper is fully laced up. And here’s the finished ice skating birthday cake inside the cake box ready to go to the ice skating rink! I highly recommend baking the birthday cake layers in advance and freeze them until you’re ready to decorate which is what I do with all of my easy birthday cake ideas. As usual, I baked the Cakegirls vanilla cake recipe which I think tastes amazing and is a special once-a-year birthday treat. Follow their instructions twice to make two 8-inch round birthday cakes and two 9-inch square birthday cakes. Elise helped make her own cake a couple of weeks in advance, and we froze the birthday cake layers until closer to her birthday party.

Paul introduces us to his fantastic 3D Ice Skate Cake. By constructing a stand that allows the cake to stand upright, Paul really has taken this design to the next level. Let Paul guide you through woodworking techniques – a skill that will make sure your designs stand out from the crowd. I love the fun snowballs on this cake. You can make them out of dough or make cake balls using the recipe from the snow ball fight cakes above. Add the fondant ice skate topper to the top of the cake. You should have had it covered up with plastic wrap so that it’s still pretty pliable. Put the ice skate cake topper on first, then add the ice skate blade underneath. Last, add the letter E to the cake board. As a huge fan of anything coconut, this snow ball themed cake is one of my favorite cakes on this list! Keep brushing on the silver luster dust until it’s solid silver. Then let it dry completely. Be careful not to bump it while it’s drying or you’ll need to touch up some places.Here’s a photo of the first cake layer. Add icing between the layers to make a taller cake. I ended up using three layers for my number 1 cake and two layers for my number 0 cake. And by the way, here is the icing recipe that I used. If you’re adding sanding sugar like I did, you’ll want to make a less sweet icing recipe or else the birthday cake will be way too sweet. I thought this icing recipe was OK but you may want to find another not-so-sweet icing recipe. Next, move to the top of the cake and sprinkle as much sanding sugar as you like to cover the cake. When you have your cake fully covered, use a pastry brush or a basting brush (or your hands) to clean up the cake board.
