Sinking Titanic cake!

I was asked if I could make a Titanic themed cake for a young teen who was a fan of all things Titanic.  I thought I’d attempt to make a sinking Titanic!

The cake was 2 flavors…chocolate with PB cup filling and white with raspberry filling.

I haven’t carved very many 3D cakes, but from what I have done, I have found it easier to start with much more cake than you’d need and SLOWLY take off cake inch by inch.

After I put the two halves together, I gave it a crumbcoat and popped it in the freezer for 30 minutes, then I started to carve the bow and stern.

After another crumbocat….back into the freezer.

I wrapped the bottom of the ship with a black fondant band, then white on top.

Time for the deck…..light brown fondant, painted with darker brown gel color mixed with vodka to get that wood grain look of the deck.

Next came the railing…toothpicks and fondant rope. The smoke stacks and the “people”.

The icebergs are rice krispie treats covered with buttercream.

 

I hope you enjoyed my little cake!

Thanks for reading the blog  and happy caking:)
