another weekend, another birthday invite and cake to match! a couple of weeks ago, i had several cut-out invitations and this was one of them. i was so excited to get to make the cake, too...
it's a two box, two layer cake--created with one 9 x 13 cake for the cone and 4 small round layers for the two scoops. to form the cone, i cut the rectangle on the diagonal, stacked the two pieces and trimmed them straight at the top. the scoops are actually baked in a set of 4 personal pizza pans from william sonoma--they're just a little bit bigger than the wilton 6" pans and turned out to be the perfect size. i did trim each stack at the bottom to make them more of a scoop shape. a little extra icing at the seams and controlled messy strokes made them look just a little more like ice cream. the cherry is a ball of fondant icing with a fondant stem. the words are cut out of fondant as well. it was really fun to make and yet another one i hope i get a chance to create again!
