Learn how to make this super cute Smurf Village mushroom house cake, using your giant cupcake mold. Just in time for The Smurfs 2 movie due out in August, this gorgeous, relatively simple cake is perfect for every-smurf occasion! Giant Cupcake Molds are widely available on Ebay, Amazon and lots of other online retailers - search for Big Top cupcake or Giant cupcake and you'll be able to find one. I recommend silicone as the metal ones tend to stick and you can't use them to make chocolate cupcake cases or cupcake pinatas. Don't pay more than about $10 for one - ebay has them really cheap and I usually pay about $7 (AU) for mine :) Tools & Equipment: Pizza cutter (or knife) Cornflour (or icing sugar) for dusting your surface Fondant roller or rolling pin Paintbrush Square cookie cutter (mine was a 1.5" or 4cm) Butter knife Sharp knife Bread knife or serrated edge knife Offset spatula (if you have one) Toothpicks Zip lock bag Smurf figurines (mine were about $3 ea) 10" Cake Board, or cake plate (I iced mine - icing a board tutorial link is below) Impression Mat (optional! - mine was a giraffe print but they also sell cobblestone designs) Ingredients: Giant cupcake (links to our how to bake a giant cupcake series below) Buttercream frosting (I used blue, and a little green) Fondant (White, red, dark brown, light brown) Melted white chocolate or candy melts Useful Links: Link to Modelling Chocolate: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dihemVp1EcY Link to Buttercream Frosting: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_xqvYCfrpU Link to How to Ice a Cake Board: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGZfKH8Y1Xo Link to Giant Cupcake Basics 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekRTQZPxtRA Link to Giant Cupcake Basics 2: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekRTQZPxtRA Connect with me on: Facebook: www.facebook.com/cupcakeaddiction Twitter: www.twitter.com/#!/cupcakeaddictau Instagram: instagram.com/mycupcakeaddiction Pinterest: pinterest.com/mycupcakeaddict/ I'd love to see pics of your cakes and cake pops on ANY of the above -- You all know how mine turn out -- now show me YOUR creations!
