Hello everyone. I have made this tutorial for anyone wanting to make a 2D horse head. Showing the stages of how to get the shape, crumb coat, how it looks with fondant on and the finished result.

List of Materials

  • square cake tin, knife, edible pen(optional) spatula


2D-horse

I used a 10" square cake tin, to get the shape you can either cut with a knife free hand or use an edible marker pen first.


horse-2

Cut the cake in half and fill with a filling of your choice. I used strawberry jam and Swiss meringue butter cream.


horse3

Apply a crumb coat, then place in the fridge for about 30mins, i then applied a second coat and put back in the fridge but this is down to preference not everyone does a second coat. Crumb coating is for catching the crumbs so they don`t go into the fondant, but also for your fondant to adhere to the cake.


horse4

Apply the fondant, eye and hair. I made the hair with a makins clay gun. http://www.makinsclay.com/US/eng/products/ultimate.htm.


horse5

Make straps with black fondant. I used a stitching wheel and then applied Confectioners glaze to make the straps look shiny.


horse6

Grass piping tip for the cake board.


horse7

Finished cake. Hope you all like it. I looked at a number of horses head cakes on Google, so if you have made one of these thank you as i probably studied it lol.

Thank you. I will try this someday. It is good to see it un-iced to see how it should be cut.

This is amazing - my niece has been wanting me to make her a horse cake for years and I didn't know where to start. Thank you!
Do you mind sharing what 'confectioner's glaze' is? I have had other cakes where I've needed parts to shine and didn't know what to use.
Thank you! :)
