Cute Duck Cake

Making this cute cake was fun and easy

 

I used two 8 inch cakes. Stacked and iced the layers.  I attached white KitKat candy bars to the sides of the cake using buttercream icing and wrapped them with a decorative ribbon.   

 

I melted Wilton blue chocolate melts and poured it over the top of the cake to create "water". I used yellow and orange fondant to create ducks.

My brother turned 50 last week and asked for a German Chocolate Cake.  He was very pleased with the cake.  It turned out to be very moist and delicious. Here is my recipe:

1 cup buttermilk
1 cup sour cream
2 ounces of melted sweet german chocolate (1/2 box)

Mix well - makes 3 - 8 inch layers. Bake at 325 degrees for 40 minutes. Chill the layers before icing them. You will need two icing for the cake - use Dunkin Hines coconut pecan icing between the layers and on the top and make the following recipe for the outside of the cake.


Recipe for icing outside of cake:
2 pounds powdered sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup shortening
