manufacture a 3D Cake At Home

Making a 3D cake at home can be as uncomplicated or complex as you like. For my daughter's birthday, she wanted a dinosaur cake, and I didn't think the uncomplicated pan cake with a photograph or figurines would do. I researched dissimilar cake styles, pans, ideas and came up with building my own cake.

Using uncomplicated box cake mix, with a few tweaks to make it stand up to a lot of icing and a limited imagination, I was able to come up with a real hit for her birthday celebration. It all comes down to cutting basic round cake layers and I make a rectangle pan cake and have found that the small egg shaped pan works very well to add some shaping to the cake for legs, facial features etc. A crumb coat layer is valuable in building the cake and using the icing to stick the layers together.

Cake Pan

I actually get something to look at for the shape like a toy or photograph for inspiration and draw out a sketch of how I am going to use the cut pieces and put them together on my cake board. I then actually put the pieces together and move them colse to until I get exactly the scale and shape that I want.
