Hi all

Have to make a sports shirt cake for a friends 40th, and since he has a well aged beer belly thought it would be a funny touch to make it more "him".

anyways... any idea on how to 'pump' up the belly part? It's a slab cake... thought of just making some cake ball mix and using that... just don't know how it would taste though...

any other ideas greatly welcomed!

Don't know why you couldn't taper (if necessary) a "belly bump" cake for a "beer belly."

Here's a tutorial that uses a kugelhopf (bundt type) cake pan:
(Can also use the breast info if he has "man boobs," too...)

Beer Belly.........too cute! I may have to borrow that idea!
