This past week my nephew Timmy turned 7! My sister had me make his birthday cake, she wanted half chocolate and half vanilla. And she wanted a full sheet cake. I have never made a full sheet cake before so I was definitely up for this challenge.
I bought half sheet cake pan a by 2a.m. the cakes were wrapped in saran wrap and chilling in the fridge.
Timmy wanted a Scooby Doo cake, in previous years it was either Sponge Bob or Spider Man...so I was really excited when he wanted Scooby Doo...I was happy because Scooby is just absolutely adorable.
I was not sure about how I wanted Scooby Dooo to look, so I googled Scooby Doo expressions and found a couple of them I really liked. On the cake Scooby Doo's is constructed of Fondant that I colored.
I used a very simple Buttercream for the entire cake.
My Buttercream
4 Sticks of butter-Sweet and Creamy works well
4 cups of Powdered Sugar- keep adding it in until you get the consistency you want
1 Tablespoon of Vanilla
1 Teaspoon of Ultra Pasteurized Heavy Cream
**Mix all together, if it is to thin add more powdered sugar!**
But for my sheet cake I tripled the recipe...at one point I had to go back to the grocery story for more butter.
Here is Timmy's Birthday Cake...............
I hope you like his cake....and I sure hope Timmy does!
Keep posted for upcoming posts!
