Blue Whale Birthday Cake

[kamath]

Does anyway have a mould or know how to make a Blue Whale cake? Any help or ideas would be great ! Or anyone have a mould??!!! x

It's easiest if you cook two square cakes and put them next to each other (you can use buttercream to 'stick' them together), then:

- draw a whale on some thin card

- cut it out

- put it on top of the cakes

- using a sharp knife (as deep as the cake) cut vertically all around.

The buttercream/icing on top will hide any rough edges.

It's not very difficult to do and much easier than a mould (IMO).

Hope that helps x

I'd go with the cutting it out suggestion as above, or make a normal shape cake, cover it in butter cream dyed blue to make the sea and make little whales to peak out of the water out of sugar paste, which is basically like playdough but tastes marginally better. I have no artistic abilities and managed to make my daughter a cake with Orcas on it using this method!

Thanks - I have someone who I can ask to help with the icing now. I have always got a friend to make my children's cakes but now feel I should make the effort !! I alway want to give it a go x
