WWE Birthday Cake Idea with No Fondant

But…the real reason for this post is to show you how I made this wrestling cake.
Are you ready to make this Wrestling Cake? Let’s make sure you have everything you’ll need:
Ingredients
You’ll Need:
- Baked Cake – 2 square layers (one cake batter divided into two pans)
- Black frosting
- Silver or Black paper straws – I found mine at Target
- Red Pull and Peel Licorice
- White Frosting
- #67 Wilton Leaf tip and piping bag
How do you Make a WWE Birthday Cake?
Instructions:
You’ll want to start by baking two square cakes and stacking them on your serving platter.
I am not a huge fan of fondant – I have not had the best results working with the stuff. One of these days, I’ll take a course in working with fondant. Until then…I’m happy with my imperfect birthday cakes.
- The result is a rich black color.
- After I frosted the cake with black frosting, – I used Pull and Peel Licorice to make a little candy cane shape in the middle of the cake.
- I then used a #67 Wilton Leaf Tip and a bag of white frosting to make 2 Ws in the middle of the cake. The leaf tip did all of the work for me – instant layers of W!
- The bottom section of the larger W overlaps the licorice piece in the middle of the cake.
- The smaller W goes inside of the larger W.
- I then used silver paper straws that I found at Target for the rope support.
- I just cut them to the size I wanted with scissors and inserted one into each of the four corners of the cake.
- I then attached pieces of pull and peel licorice around the straws to look like rope.
- I just squeezed the licorice ends around the straws until they stuck together in a nice tight loop.
- I used eight pieces and trimmed them to fit the length of my cake
- That’s it – my amateur Pro Wrestling Cake
Expert Tip
I have found that if you want a true black color, it’s best to start with a dark color like brown (chocolate frosting works great) and add black food coloring.
Storing
Store this cake covered at room temperature for up to three days
