Volcano Cake

Volcano Cake on Cake Central

This was for my son's college geology lab class end-of-semester /Christmas party. I made the volcano out of gumpaste by making a cone out of thick piece of Foamie, forming the volcano around it. I spatter painted it to make it look rocky. I rolled out and free formed orange gumpaste for the lava. I made little gumpaste rocks. The snowflakes and presents are sugar decos I bought. The orange balls were made from the lava gumpaste. I filled the volcano with a cake crumb/icing mixture and used it as spackle inside the volcano so I could place the wires inside. It isn't shown, but I squeezed buttercream into the top of the volcano and then sprinkled orange edible glitter inside to make it look like lava inside the volcano, which was a detail not lost on the students! : )
