This cake was supposed to be the Million Dollar Championship Belt: yellow cake carved to look like the belt buckle, filled with Nutella, iced with poured buttercream, and decorated with sugar pearls for the diamonds.
Lessons learned:
- Poured buttercream does not work well on a carved cake that has small, fragile pieces on it, like the points of the dollar signs. The poured buttercream tore off all the small pieces and made a big mess. If I had to do this cake again, I would probably try fondant.
- Placing all those sugar pearls was quite tedious. I lost my patience half way through so that's why they don't look quite right. However, the cake recipient is a huge DiBiase fan so he figured out what it was supposed to be right away! Once again, fondant would have probably made life a lot easier here.
