XBOX 360 Cake

The newly designed version of the XBOX 360.  So fun to make and completely edible!

Fable 3 Cake

Fable 3 for the Xbox 360 launched today and I provided the cake for the local launch party.  As Fable 3 is all about choices it seemed only fitting that the cake consist of alternating layers of "Angelic White" and "Devilish Chocolate", filled with "Never a Bad Choice" vanilla buttercream.



The crown which was made of fondant and airbrushed with Kroma Kolors Gold not only represented a key part of the game but also made a fitting headpiece for the guest of honor.

Forza 3 Cake

I had the pleasure of making the cake for the launch party of Forza Motorsport 3, a new racing game for the xbox 360. For inspiration of the design of the cake, I got a sneak peek of the game and it is BEAUTIFUL! Making a cake to match the sleek lines of the game was no easy task.

Inside was a red velvet cake with vanilla bean cream cheese filling.

Xbox 360 Cake

I made this cake for a very sweet neighbor who's husband is a huge Xbox 360 fan. I tried to make this one look realistic and I think I pulled it off. I took a few pictures along the way that I thought I'd share. Enjoy!





















First I made a pattern by tracing around a real Xbox.

Then I placed my pattern onto the cake and cut off the excess.

Because of the Xbox's concave shape, I had some carving to do.

Next, I gave it a thin layer of buttercream while trying to keep the edges sharp.

I didnt get a picture of the next step, but I covered the entire cake in white fondant.

Using a tip 10 I cut out a ton of little dark gray dots and placed them on the top of the cake.

Here I used a mini paint brush to guide the little dots into place. A dab of water helps as "glue". This is a very tedious step, but worth it in the end.

Here's the bottom of the Xbox. I cut my fondant into a strip and used an exacto knife to cut it down to the right shape.

I poked holes in the bottom using a cake tool called a cel pen.

Dont forget the feet!

For the front details I used my pizza cutter and knife to cut out the different shapes and glued them down with water. A circle cutter was used to create the power button.
