Teenage Cakes

I wish I had more birthday cakes ideas for teenage children to show you. When they get to a certain age they seem to not want a party any more, and their interest in the cake pales into insignificance compared to their hopeful interest in the latest gadget style gift! If you have a picture of the cake you made for your teenager, please send it to my email address on the home page.

Casino Cake

Basic shape: Square sponge cake iced with fondant icing with playing cards and dice

Decor: Decorated with fondant icing. The cards were made and left to dry for 24 hours before applying to the cake. After this the cake needed to have air to prevent them from becoming soft again and wilting. The numbers on the cards combined with the numbers on the dice add up to 18 - Craig's age.

Ingredients

Sponge Cake
Butter icing to fill it
Fondant icing
Honey or similar to adhere icing to cake
Colourings
Specially shaped cutters

Hockney Cake

Basic shape: Square sponge cake iced with fondant icing after Hockneys "A Bigger Splash" painting. With apologies to Hockney, especially for adjusting the width of the frame!

Decor: Simplified from a picture, with adjustment for a persons name and age in the splash. Decorated with fondant icing. Splash decor was done by squeezing the icing through a garlic press.
