Pokemon Cake

cropped-img_1017.jpgMy son is a huge Pokémon fan.  For his eighth birthday he asked for me to create a Pokémon Black and White cake.  What in the world?  So I did a little online searching to find out what exactly he was asking for.

The design I came up with was from a few different cakes I had seen online. My thought was that this would be relatively simple.  I used a rectangle cake pan that would be large enough for me to fit the characters and a bowl to create the Pokémon Ball. 

By using fondant I was able to create this masterpiece.

Some helpful hints:

Do not let the fondant get wet around the edges – the color will bleed onto the white.  Creating a mess!

Keep your hands greased with vegetable shortening – this keeps the fondant pliable and it will not stick.

BE PATIENT!  It may not come out perfect but everyone will be impressed with your efforts.
