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. Depending on how tall your cake layers are, you’ll want to cut either two or three number 1 cake layers from the square birthday cake. You can also add more cake layers to the ice skating cake to serve more guests.

Here’s how the cake looks with just the sanding sugar. You could really stop here and have a nice, pretty 10th birthday cake. 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.

Be careful not to bump it while it’s drying or you’ll need to touch up some places. Paul introduces us to his fantastic 3D Ice Skate Cake. By constructing a stand that allows the cake to stand upright, Paul really has taken this design to the next level. Let Paul guide you through woodworking techniques – a skill that will make sure your designs stand out from the crowd.Here’s a photo of the first cake layer. Add icing between the layers to make a taller cake. I ended up using three layers for my number 1 cake and two layers for my number 0 cake. And by the way, here is the icing recipe that I used. If you’re adding sanding sugar like I did, you’ll want to make a less sweet icing recipe or else the birthday cake will be way too sweet. I thought this icing recipe was OK but you may want to find another not-so-sweet icing recipe. I played around with cutting out tongue pieces and in the end, I thought the ice skate looked most realistic by sculpting the fondant a bit with a knife; sometimes the simplest technique is the best. Lay the tongue piece on top of the fondant ice skate cake topper and trace lightly with a knife — and be sure to avoid cutting all the way through the topper. 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. The 3D Ice Skate cake can be adapted to suit different genders – not to mention different sports – and the skills learned will help you make all kinds of designs. This cake would be brilliant for a birthday celebration or for a fancy sporting event – the possibilities are endless!
