Haunted House Cake Tutorial – Part Two

Easy Instructions
In addition to the video tutorial, here are the written instructions. 🙂
NOT SHOWN IN VIDEO:
- Download, Print and Cut out Windows and Door from Templates (see TEMPLATE #2 and TEMPLATE #3 below)
- Place wax paper on a board (anything that will NOT bend – I used a large cutting board)
- Roll out yellow fondant, place templates on top of yellow fondant and cut fondant shapes with pizza cutter or X-Acto knife
- Smooth edges of fondant shapes, place them on the wax paper, and set aside to dry
DECORATE WINDOWS (step one):
- Make window cross-panes with black fondant, extruder, pointed sugar shaper, water and brush – set aside to dry
- Attach yellow fondant front door with water and brush
SIDING AND FRONT PORCH:
- Roll out purple fondant, cut 1″ strips with ribbon cutter (or ruler with pizza cutter/X-Acto knife)
- Start attaching the strips at the bottom with water and brush, moving up in slightly overlapping rows to create the appearance of siding – stop at roof line
- Attach one strip to the bottom of the overhanging roof section using sugar shaper or ball tool
- Cut a piece of brown fondant and attach to the cake card protruding from under the front of the cake with water and brush
- Use dresden tool to create lines (aka boards)
DECORATE WINDOWS (step two):
- Attach windows with water and brush
- Make shutters with orange fondant, rectangle cutters and flat tip sugar shaper
- Make upper and lower window frames with black fondant and pizza cutter – attach with water and brush
- Make sides of window frames with black fondant and extruder – attach with water and brush
DOOR FRAME:
- Roll out an orange fondant rope and attach around the door with water and brush
- Use extruder and black fondant to make a skinny rope, attach between yellow door and orange door frame with water and brush
Now put the cake back in the refrigerator to chill until we are ready for PART 3: ROOF SHINGLES (coming soon!).
