Beer Bottle Birthday Cake
This delightful cake mimics the look of a classic beer bottle, making it the perfect dessert for beer enthusiasts. Not only is it visually stunning, but it is also delicious and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 box of chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients required on the box)
- 1 cup of buttercream frosting
- 1 bottle of non-alcoholic beer (for decoration)
- Food coloring (green and brown)
- Chocolate ganache
- Edible gold glitter (optional)
- Piping bag
- Rolling pin
- Fondant (for shaping the beer bottle)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven according to the cake mix instructions. Prepare the cake mix as directed and bake it in two 8-inch round cake pans.
- Once the cakes are baked, allow them to cool completely before removing them from the pans.
- While the cakes are cooling, color your buttercream frosting with a bit of green and brown food coloring to achieve the desired beer bottle label color.
- Once the cakes have cooled, stack them on top of each other and secure with a layer of buttercream frosting in between.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully carve the edges of the stacked cakes to create the shape of a beer bottle. Smooth the edges as best as you can.
- Cover the entire cake with a thin layer of buttercream to create a crumb coat. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to set.
- Using the green colored fondant, roll out enough to cover the cake. Smooth it over the cake to give it a smooth finish resembling a beer bottle.
- Roll out brown fondant to create the neck of the bottle. Attach it to the top of the cake and shape it accordingly.
- Using a piping bag filled with chocolate ganache, add decorative touches around the bottle’s cap and base for extra detail.
- Finally, garnish your cake with edible gold glitter to give it that festive look.
- Once completed, place the non-alcoholic beer bottle on top for a perfect finishing touch and serve your guests a slice of this stunning creation!
Enjoy the process of creating this whimsical cake as much as indulging in it. Happy baking!
