These are the instructions for how I made my carousel cake:
4 - 8â Rounds (two stacked on top, two on the bottom, covered in chocolate frosting)
The bottom cakes are on a plastic Wilton Cake stand. The middle of the cake has been covered in fondant and then cut out to fit the cylinder in the center. The cylinder is a cardboard wine bottle holder (found at Michaels in their wood crafts section) covered in fondant.
The top cake has been shaved so that it has a little bit of a point to it and coevered in fondant. It is sitting on a cake board. The fondant hanging around the edges is made of upside down heart shapes that were cut out and pasted on with royal icing. They have been decorated with royal icing and gumpaste flowers. I added them while I had the top cake sitting on a small box, not on the actual cylinder itself.
The horses are made out of royal icing using the color flow method. This is like what I did with my butterflies in another one of my pictures. I just do them on wax paper and as long as they are dry they pop off the paper pretty easily. I âgluedâ them to the dowels using more royal icing. The dowels were cut to the same height as the cylinder. This way the top cake has a good support system. Hope that helps everyone!
