Monster Cake

A fun and not-too-spooky Monster Cake decorating idea!

I was going through old pictures, and came across this monster cake I made for our baby’s first birthday last year.  The theme was loosely, Our Little Monster.  I had seen a monster face like this on the internet, and just knew it would make the cutest cake!  This is great cake for a Halloween party… it’s spooky, but not scary!

I don’t really have any instruction on how to make the monster face, I really just winged it. But it’s pretty easy to recreate.  So even though I don’t have a tutorial for you, I wanted to share the ingredients I used to put it together.

What you need to make a Monster Cake:

• 1, 2-layer cake in the flavour of your choice
• 2 containers of white icing:
  • 1 tub of icing should be tinted with green food colouring for the icing base.
  • Use part of the other tub for the white of the eyeball and tooth.
  • Use and use part of the second tub to tint a darker green for the warts
• Black gel icing (I bought mine at Walmart) for the eyeball centre and mouth.
• Black licorice strings for the hair.
