Pop Star: Jennifer
“I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful ideas you share on your blog! My kids wanted a monster party, and while I thought making a whole bunch of monster decorated cake pops would be a bit much for my first attempt, we decided to “start small”. We made chocolate fudge cake balls and coated them with the vanilla candy coating to look like eyeballs then stuck them into his monster head cake.” – Jennifer

June 29, 2011 03:19 PMThis is amazing! I’d like to know how to you did the hair too. I have a multi-opening tip, but I don’t think I could ever get my frosting to look like this. Great job!
June 29, 2011 05:34 PMHey Jennifer,
June 30, 2011 06:37 AMthis is a really AWESOME cake! I was trying to find a fun cake for my nephews 4th bday, and this would be wonderful. Any chance of you sharing the receipe with me / us? Especially what you are using for the hair (coating & tip).
Greetings!
Stef
He is most adorable! Please,please,please tell us how you mastered the fuzzy hair.
June 30, 2011 06:55 PMThis is amazing! What a cool mom to make such a cake! Perfect color and man, look at that hair! I agree, Jennifer — please let us know how you did it. I almost hate that it had to be cut up. But I’m sure it was delish. ;)
July 1, 2011 10:58 AMJennifer,
this looks absolutely delicious! This is amazing!
I am also wondering how you did the hair?!?!?
Also… any chance that you email me the receipe??
Sweet cake-licious greetings

LOVE. I am a monster and robot freak.
July 2, 2011 01:53 AMThanks for the love ladies!
July 3, 2011 03:05 PMI used the No 233 Multiptip from Wilton for the fur. I just started about an 1 or 2 above the bottom of the cake, stuck the tip against the cake and then gently pull away as you squeeze the pastry bag. It will break off the strings of frosting. You might need to experiment a bit first to see how long of strings you get. I’m sure it depends on humidity, heat, and the frosting recipe. I just used the good old “buttercream” recipe from Wilton.
You can check out more pics from the monster party on my blog.
That’s so adorable!
July 3, 2011 06:29 PMwhat a great job!

July 8, 2011 07:26 AMThis is AWESOME! My daughter is a HUGE, I mean HUGE Monster fan. She has this dancing Frankenstein doll that she takes every where. And her favorite movie is Monster Mink (Inc.) And her birthday is right around Halloween, and this year this cake has convinced me to have a Monster Theme party. Not very girly, but I think she would LOVE IT!! Thanks for the idea!

November 16, 2011 04:53 PMHi Jennifer – just wanted to say thanks for the inspiration – I am planning on doing this for my 4 year old’s birthday this weekend. Wonderful!

November 21, 2011 10:24 PMWhat a great idea! Your cake looks absolutely wonderful…I can imagine kids loving this one. I will have to make one myself. Thank you for sharing this great idea.
December 2, 2011 09:01 AMFor all the previous comments aking about the “fur”, I think I would use a garlic press ;) simply press out a small ball of fondant throug a garlic press and there you have a bundle of hair..
lol, viki
Hello Jennifer,
December 6, 2011 03:52 PMThis cake is the cutest one i’ve ever seen!

I would be very happy about it.
Very great, i’ve to say it again and again :)

How did you do the mouth? Is that fondant or frosting? Also, did you do the mouth before the fur or after? Great cake!
March 21, 2012 05:45 PMThe mouth is actually made from candy chocolate. I melted the discs (like for Easter candies), then shaped a mouth first out of the black and once it hardened put the tongue over top. I formed it on the edge of a tub (cottage cheese, I think) that was approximately the same diameter as the cake. That way it fit onto the fresh frosted fur without breaking or needing to be reshaped.
March 25, 2012 11:04 AMhow did you make the eyes for the monster cake?! i love them
April 1, 2012 11:47 PMDid you use a 8 inch or 10 inch pan for the cake?
April 2, 2012 05:31 PMI used 8 inch pans (three layers) for the cake. The eyes were made from cake pops, dipped first in white chocolate, then the orange, then a black chocolate for a pupil.
April 8, 2012 05:58 PMFound this on Pinterest. Just wonderful! And definitely in my style: http://www.etsy.com/people/creationsbyjdb
April 17, 2012 05:35 AMWhat did you ue for the coloring of the icing? Just basic orange dye?
June 30, 2012 10:16 PMI absolutely love this!! I think I’m going to use this theme next birthday! I featured it on my blog too!
Thanks

How did you make the color? it is so cool
September 20, 2012 05:58 PMand what kind of cake
September 20, 2012 05:59 PMI made the orange with the gel colorant from Wilton (with the frosting supplies). It let me get that deep saturated orange.
September 23, 2012 03:14 PMhi jen. i really like to ask, how did you make the hair of the monster cake? It looks great! :)
September 29, 2012 08:55 AMI used the No 233 Multiptip from Wilton for the fur.
