Ice Skater Cake Topper

Product Information

And here’s the finished ice skating birthday cake inside the cake box ready to go to the ice skating rink! Next, move to the top of the cake and sprinkle as much sanding sugar as you like to cover the cake. When you have your cake fully covered, use a pastry brush or a basting brush (or your hands) to clean up the cake board.

Who said you cake has to be blue? Pink cupcakes with cute snowflake sprinkles are perfect for an ice skating party treat. I highly recommend baking the birthday cake layers in advance and freeze them until you’re ready to decorate which is what I do with all of my easy birthday cake ideas. As usual, I baked the Cakegirls vanilla cake recipe which I think tastes amazing and is a special once-a-year birthday treat. Follow their instructions twice to make two 8-inch round birthday cakes and two 9-inch square birthday cakes. Elise helped make her own cake a couple of weeks in advance, and we froze the birthday cake layers until closer to her birthday party. Now roll a little bit of white fondant into a skinny rope. Cut pieces of the fondant rope and wiggle into the laces. Repeat until the entire ice skate cake topper is fully laced up. Add the fondant ice skate topper to the top of the cake. You should have had it covered up with plastic wrap so that it’s still pretty pliable. Put the ice skate cake topper on first, then add the ice skate blade underneath. Last, add the letter E to the cake board. Here’s how the cake looks with just the sanding sugar. You could really stop here and have a nice, pretty 10th birthday cake.

Sanding sugar is a really easy and pretty way to decorate birthday cakes. First, you’ll want to ice your cakes. I usually make the Cakegirls buttercream recipe but because the sanding sugar is also sweet I wanted to use a less-sweet buttercream recipe. I used this buttercream icing recipe, but I have to say, you could probably find a better one out there that tastes less like butter. Print my free printable number 1 cake template and place onto the frozen cake. Use a serrated knife to cut out the number 1. Here’s what the ice skate cake topper looks like fully laced. You’ll notice that I have a bit of plastic wrap in the upper corner. I like to cover up the fondant ice skate cake topper so that it remains pliable.

Lay the upper piece of the ice skate cake topper template onto the white fondant and cut out with a sharp paring knife.I love the fun snowballs on this cake. You can make them out of dough or make cake balls using the recipe from the snow ball fight cakes above. I’ve already included an ombre cake in this list but you can use the recipe for that one to make this pretty design – top with an ice skate topper or something else winter themed.
