Ben 10 is a frequently requested theme for cakes these days, but no cake pans exist to make it. But, you can create your own icing image to place on any size cake. It only takes beginner s cake decorating skills to do it.
If you re artistic, you can just draw Ben 10 directly on the top of the cake with any kind of icing or piping gel. Not everyone is confident in their drawing skills, so here are a few ways to create an icing image using any picture you want.
The internet is a great place to find a Ben 10 picture. Just search for an image you like and save it to your computer. Open up the picture file with your photo editing software. Turn the picture into a mirror image. You can also resize the picture to print however big or small you need it. Remember to leave room for the birthday message and the top border of the cake.
Tape the picture down to either the back of a cookie sheet, on top of sturdy cardboard or on a cutting board. On top of the picture, you will tape down a sheet of plastic wrap. Tape it at the corners and in between so there are no wrinkles in the wrap and it won t move when you start applying the icing.
Using Royal Icing: You can use either white or black royal icing to outline the picture. You will need the number 2 tip and thick royal icing. When the outline is done, let it harden up for half an hour. Now you will need to thin the remainder of the royal icing. Add water, one teaspoon at a time until the icing is the consistency of cream. While you are working, keep the icing covered with a damp towel, as it dries out quickly. Color the thinned royal icing according to the colors in the picture. Use food coloring paste for best results. Each color should have its own cup/bowl and cake decorating bag. You will be flooding each area of the picture with a number 4 cake decorating tip. When you fill each area of the picture, begin by piping around the inside of each section. Then fill in the area with a zig zag motion. Pop any air bubbles with a toothpick. When the design is done, you can put it under a heat lamp, if you have one. If not, let it dry at least 24 hours, depending upon humidity. When hardened, carefully peel off the cling wrap and invert the royal icing picture on to the cake where you want it.
Ben 10 in Buttercream Transfer: Set up is the same as with royal icing, only you will outline the picture with buttercream icing using the number 2 tip. Fill in each area of the picture, beginning with the smallest details first. When the entire picture is filled in, spread a thick coat of buttercream icing over the whole thing. This should be the same color as the icing on your cake. Also, pipe that same color around the outline of the whole picture. This will make the design look better when you put it on the cake. Place the buttercream transfer into the freezer until hard. When hardened, turn the buttercream transfer over, place it where you want it on the cake and peel back the plastic wrap.
Both methods are sure to produce a great Ben 10 cake and a happy birthday child.
