Pizza Cake | Cupcake and Cookie

So if you are following us on twitter, you will know that Cupcake recently got back from holiday in America! So we thought we'd do a celebratory blog post! We are both big fans of Rosanna Pansino (if you don't know who she is, go and watch her now!!!) and we recently watched her video on how to make a pizza cake. It obviously didn't go as well as hers but we tried. (Just to let you know, we are not taking credit for this recipe and it is not exactly the same as Rosanna's so if you want a better demonstration then go and check out her latest video!).

 

You will need...

 

A plain cake from a recipe of your choice

Yellow fondant

Red fondant

Liquorice

Galaxy Bites

White Chocolate Bar

 

Method

 

1. Level your cake

2. Role out your fondant

3. Cover your cake in yellow fondant

4. Cut out a circle shape in your red fondant

5. Put your red fondant on top of your cake

6. Grate your white chocolate

7. Sprinkle your grated white chocolate over your red fondant

8. Add your toppings

9. Add a crust with your remaining yellow fondant (optional)

10. Enjoy!
