Yes, that’s a cake. A bbq themed cake. . Happy Father’s Day to all you super wonderful dads out there! We’ve come a long way from patriarchy and we have a long way to go. You who parent to empower are helping humankind take those steps to the finish line. . About this cake: Pulled this one out from the archives. I made this a few years ago for a Father’s Day bbq lunch and it was a hit! . To make: Bake a simple 9 x 13 chocolate cake (recipe coming another day). Cut the cake into a square. Save the sides. Dig up the center just enough to make a dent and leave a crumble. Pour some chocolate sauce over the crumble, using a fork create the charcoal look. Color some wooden skewers with black food color and lay over cake to make the grill. In a bowl crumble the cut sides of cake, add chocolate sauce and make a dough. Shape this cake dough into hot dogs, chicken, burgers or any other food you like. Color store bought fondant with food color as required for the food. Cover chocolate food with colored fondant and use black and brown food color to make grill marks on food. Place made food on top of skewers/grills and your cake is ready to awe the man of the hour! 😊 . I know many are intimidated by the thought of working with fondant. This semi fondant cake is perfect to set that doubt to rest. It’s simple and easy like shaping with play dough. And for those who find fondant to be super sweet, again this semi fondant cake works. It’s mostly a naked cake with sparing use of fondant! . All in all, it’s a win win. Effort, looks and taste all come together to make some happy #platedexpressions for Dad! . #fathersday #fathersdaycake #fathersday2020 #fathersdayideas #happyfathersday #cakefordad #chocolatecake #bbqcake #bbqthemeparty #bbqthemedcake #fondantcake #semifondantcake #3dcake #themedcakes #creativecake #creativecooking #funcakes #cakestagram #cakesofinstagram #cakedecorating #cakedesign #cakesofinsta
