Frozen cake decorations

Frozen Cake Frozen

Today I thought I’d share a cake decorating idea. I made this one for my niece’s 5th birthday, as requested, in the style of the movie, Frozen. The characters were from a game board I gave her as a gift. So I started out with a 4 layer chocolate cake. I filled each layer with vanilla swiss meringue buttercream, and iced the outside in the same. I tinted some of the icing with blue food gel from Wilton and then swirled it with white, mixing the two together a little bit where they met at the…

I’ve said it before….it’s really hard to do something original for the Frozen theme. Everyone wants the same thing! Fondant ruffles and sparkly snowflakes, made this cake simple and effective. :-)

Frozen Cake – purple, blue, and white ombre three layered birthday cake decked out with buttercream icicles, a rock candy ice castle, and Frozen's Elsa, Anna, and Olaf.

I was playing around with gelatine following Kara’s sequin tutorial when I had the idea to make the shards for a frozen cake from gelatine. Worked really well. Cheaper than isomalt and less messy than melting clear mints! Hope it helps someone :)
