Birthdays for adults can be great fun, especially if the cake is decorated with yummy humor. Anyone can make a batch of songs like “Over the Hill”, even if you’ve never made one.
The ingredients for the cake are 3 store bought cake mixes, any flavor or your own from scratch that makes it. to equal three 9×13 cakes. Prepare batter according to directions and divide between two prepared 9x 13 containers. This gives a higher, more substantial cake. You will need to add 15 to 25 additional minutes of baking time to cook them completely. It is important to test for doneness.
When properly cooled, turn the cakes onto wax paper or parchment. Cover with paper towels and set aside for at least three hours. I usually bake my cake the day before it cools and decorates. When I’m ready to frost, I recommend both layers with a thin coat to seal the cake and “catch” them. flakes that sometimes lose the look of a frosting job. Please serve the cakes on a sturdy tray. I took a TV stand without legs, covered it with foil or paper to put it on the display board. This base coat of frosting is covered with wax or parchment, so that it can no longer be seen.
By Graveyard Hill Material: Green dyed frost, prepared foam core ‘stone’ and green dyed coconut. Place two 9×13 oblong cakes side by side and frost with green frosting all over. A frosty job does not have to be light and perfect, which will be characteristic of the rogitic. You don’t have to be a decorator to make this funny cake. Around the base of the green cake throw coconut ‘grass where the pros are accustomed to imagine the ends of the imagination.
Arrange the graves all over the cemetery. If desired black or brown jelly beans rocks can be added here and there. I found candy shaped bones for Halloween that are perfect to scatter around. You can dip the coconut by pouring one or two cups into a food storage bag, then add 2 or 3 drops of green food coloring sealed and a coat of arms. Drain on a paper or towel to dry. A helpful reminder not to get your hands dirty. Put your hand in a plastic bag and use it to pick up the coconut to put on the cake.
Sepulchris: Take a piece of pure foam core, I actually use white foam plates that are made with art or fruit wrapped. (Never a food tray!) with a pencil drawing stone shape, squares, rectangles etc. more in different sizes. than an inch or two in breadth, and an inch and a half to three inches long. And let it not be with perfect decorum. This is the “old birthday cake”. Color each stone with a slightly gray crayon or marketing felt. Use a dark pen to write epitaphs on the counters using different shapes for variety. I made this cake for my sister’s 40th and it brought a lot of smiles to the event. I’ve written things like: RIP Childhood, Here Lies Youth, birthday celebrant cut this trick into the frosting.
The pies will serve 15 people. For they double the greater group. Uses 6 to 8 cups of frosting for one of these cakes. Canned frosting can work, but I like to make it whole.
On the 50 Yard Line Material: 9 x 13 cakes placed next to each other and happy green. Target figures found in the toy section. If you want to personalize your celebratory team colors you can touch them with acrylic paint. Always run scalding water over any shape you put on the frosted cake, before it is thoroughly baked. If I’m still worried about contamination of any kind, I wrap the shapes with plastic and hide them with frosting.
Draw thin lines with white frosting. Note “40” yard line with all the paint frosting. Make penunceans with a toothpick and card stock. Write “Name” now on the 40 yard line. I posted this cake for husband’s XXXX birthday. I also found a TV guide package with his favorite actor on it. I cut out the faces of the actors, the face from my husband’s photo between the cover and the card I put a sandwich between the stick. It looked like my husband was the cover photo. He was hysterical standing near the cake.
There are many things you can do with a simple rectangle cake. You can make an “open book”, Once upon a time written on one side, you were young on the other side, and put someone a decoration of one page or a stack of two loaves for a large volume and a pipe with the title of a closed book. You can make a bed with a figure lying on it “Too Old To Party.” A TimeLine can be done, it begins “A birthday boy or girl” is born, fire is called, a wheel is invented, a man went to the moon, whatever you want. These can be read or written on small cards placed in the teeth to see the signs of life on the Road. The opportunities are endless for a good teasing piece. Beware of any flammables if you want to use candles. Rarely use these types of cakes.
