Clowns! *shudder*
So, this week in class we were making clown cakes. Clowns. Like this guy…
Enjoy! And if you decide to make it let me know what you think!
And this guy isn’t so bad. But the photos of the example cake, well, they were kinda creepy. And you know what, if I have to make a creepy-ass clown cake then I’m gonna go ALL OUT.
It says “Can’t sleep, Clowns will eat me!” And, may I just say, it’s pretty 
much impossible to get really black icing {red is no cake walk either…ha ha, cake walk, see what I did there?}. But, whatever. I still had fun in class, even if my colors were a bit disappointing. Did you notice the angry eyebrows? I added those myself with black nail polish, for that extra evil clown touch. I also piped a “666” on his back in red icing.

Did you notice the angry eyebrows? I added those myself with black nail polish, for that extra evil clown touch. I also piped a “666” on his back in red icing.I feel this cake is more or less mediocre. And I’m OK with that. It was good practice and, more importantly, it is DELICIOUS. It’s a mocha cake with whipped espresso filling. OH MY GOD THE FILLING IS SO DELICIOUS! And it’s super easy to make. Here’s my recipe {which I created by improvising on a recipe I found online for a Kahlua filling because I didn’t have any Kahlua}.
Whipped Espresso Filling

I'm supposed to be going to bed, not craving cake! :)
Haha!! AWESOME!In a completely scary creepy way!
I think that's WAY more than mediocre! Totally awesome!

That is the most amazing food coloring I have ever used. When you squeeze in a little of the black you actually get black icing. Oh and they come in little squeeze bottles so no more tooth picking out globs of gel. I highly recommend that set of colors. They are fabulous!
This post has me all sorts of laughing. Dude, the 666 on the back (where's the picture of THIS) is the most creative part of this scary ass clown cake!! The eyebrows, ummmmm fabulous! The black icing..... yuuuummmm!
Hilarious! In some ways though, I think the big 'ole yellow clown is even creepier. *shudder*
And oh. my. gosh. CANNOT wait to make the mocha deliciousness cake and filling. It brilliant!
He's so deliciously Evil!
If I was in this cake decorating class with you I would have been in hysterics, so it's probably good I'm not.
Too funny! I think you did a great job, the cake looks delicious!
My husbands grandma collected clowns, so when she passed away she left them to the kids..so I have an attic full of them, EEK!
