Brick Building Cake


 

This amazing cake is made from 10” x 8” x 6” square tiers that are each 4” high. The Bricks Designer Prints™ decorations (Item #45055) make this cake a breeze to construct.

1. Trim the white ends from the Designer Prints™ using a ribbon insertion tool with the pointed blade (Item #43381) or an X-ACTO type razor knife. Return all sheets to the re-sealable bag until ready to use. 

2. Ice the cake.

3. On the bottom tier, apply two Designer Prints™ sheets on top of each other to get complete coverage. 

4. For the middle tier, place one strip high on the tier.

5. Piece strips together on the top tier to get complete coverage. 

6. Using gray fondant, make the ladders, chimney stack, drain pipe and bottom edges of tiers as shown in the photo. 

7. Pipe white buttercream using a #8 plain round tube (Item #12756) for the windows on the bottom tier. 

8. Airbrush shadows with Lucks Black Airbrush color (Item #10157) with a few drops of Lucks White Airbrush Color (Item #42433) to get a gray color. 

9. Add your favorite action hero, or finish this cake as a schoolhouse or a firehouse.
