How to Make a Book Cake

A book cake is a great novelty cake to make for any occasion. They can be made in many different shapes and sizes. Whether you’re making it for a kid or an adult, this is one of the most fun cakes to decorate.

To make a book cake you need to bake two layers of chocolate cake and add some frosting between the layers. This will create the look of open pages of a book.

Next you need to ice the top and sides of the cake with butter icing. This will give the cake a good base to work from and make it easier to create details with your fondant.

Step 2 For the cover, roll out a large piece of white fondant. Cut it into strips that will cover 3 sides of the cakes. Use a strip cutter to gently press and drag the strips of fondant across each cake to create page indents.

Using the same technique, add ruffles to the bottom of the cake. Using chocolate icing, fill a clean pastry bag and pipe ruffles along the bottom of the cake, allowing a small space between each ruffle to add more character to the icing.

You could also use some green icing to add a border around the bottom of the cake. This will help to keep the edges of the cake from looking too floppy when it’s time to stack them.

Finally, to finish off the book cover, you can add a tiny triangle piece of fondant that is cut out earlier. This will add to the charm of the book and help to hold the other pieces together as they are added on.

How to make a monster book of monsters cake

To start, preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4. Lightly grease two round 8-inch pans. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for about 20 minutes. Leave to cool on a wire rack. Once the cakes have cooled completely, flip them out of their pans onto a cake board and spread a layer of frosting on the top.

Once the frosting has set, you’ll need to make the tongue and eyes of the monster. This will require some practice and patience. Depending on how thick you make it, this can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour.

You can also make this cake in a square shape. Just make sure to roll the fondant out larger than your cake so that it fits on the top tier. If you want to make this for a kid, you can also add some school supplies on the top of the cake, such as rulers, pencils and erasers to look like books.

If you don’t want to make a full size book, you can also use some gumpaste to create the cover of the cake. Just be aware that you’ll need to do this a few days in advance of the party so it can dry out properly.
