How do I create a Stanley Cup cake?

Hi everyone,

 

I have a stanley cup cake to do this weekend and need help with stacking and cake dummies.

 

1. Is water the best way to stick fondant to the dummies?

 

2. I have to put 3- 10" x 3" dummies stacked together. What should I use to "glue" the 3 dummies together?

 

3. Will the 3 dummies support a stack cake on top of it. It will be an 8", 6" and a 4" cake?

 

4. I will make my fondant grey and they spray with Duff's silver spray. Is this a good idea?

 

PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

by water if you mean a mist --yes

i run my dummy under the faucet and sling it off

but sedately misting is also cool

your goal is moist not dripping wet   

 

 

2. I have to put 3- 10" x 3" dummies stacked together. What should I use to "glue" the 3 dummies together?

 

i use hot glue

 

3. Will the 3 dummies support a stack cake on top of it. It will be an 8", 6" and a 4" cake?

 

yes

 

4. I will make my fondant grey and they spray with Duff's silver spray. Is this a good idea?

 

i have never used duff's so i can't vouch there

but silver spray--is it edible?

just watch out for that edible versus non-toxic factor

however you resolve that for your self

 

but yes in general that's a great way to go!

 

PLEASE HELP!!! Thanks!

i just happen to have a tall chalice cake i did

 

it was partly a freebie so it's not "super polished"

but i used one of those clear cake tubes that fit into plates

was very secure

 

and here's a photo

 

the whole chalice is foam because this crowd was used to sheet cakes only

 

i didn't want to push the envelope too much

 

they already had to deal with a layer cake (omg!)

 

bottom cake is 16"

 

the plateau is about 22'

 

can't remember how tall it is but it's pretty tall

 

CREATOR: gd-jpeg v1.0 (using IJG JPEG v62), default quality

 

edited to say--chalice covered with choco clay--cake is iced in smbc--

Thank you for your help and tips

 

As for the spray... it is edible!

I could leave the cake grey...but I've noticed in the past that when I add black colouring to white fondant- it turns purple!
