Shark Cake, Part 2
Buttercream
•
44m
Structure Parts: (Watch our live session on cake structure to learn more!)
16" x 18" cut MDF board for cake board base
7" round cut MDF board for canopy
22" tall threaded rod (we used 1/2" thick rod but any thickness will do)
3 (or four if you'd rather) washers used (size to match thickness of threaded rod)
4 nuts used (size to match thickness of threaded rod)
Notes:
I baked 2 cake layers in 3" deep, 12" round cake tins, which equaled 5" in height when leveled, torted and filled to create one cake tier
I used a 10" round cake tin as a guide to create the crib parts
