“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

How do u make it
Juliet, I don’t remember specifically how many cups of buttercream, but I do know it was whatever the amount made by one recipe of the WIlton buttercream (standard on the shaped cake pans).
do you remember how many cups of buttercream frosting you used?
I’m totally creeped out and in love with this cake you made! -The hair really makes the difference!!
thanks for the help. i think i would like to try that sometime. Godbless! :D
I 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.
hi jen. i really like to ask, how did you make the hair of the monster cake? It looks great! :)
I made the orange with the gel colorant from Wilton (with the frosting supplies). It let me get that deep saturated orange.
and what kind of cake
How did you make the color? it is so cool
I absolutely love this!! I think I’m going to use this theme next birthday! I featured it on my blog too!
Thanks

What did you ue for the coloring of the icing? Just basic orange dye?
Found this on Pinterest. Just wonderful! And definitely in my style: http://www.etsy.com/people/creationsbyjdb
I 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.
Did you use a 8 inch or 10 inch pan for the cake?
how did you make the eyes for the monster cake?! i love them
The 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.
How did you do the mouth? Is that fondant or frosting? Also, did you do the mouth before the fur or after? Great cake!
? Love this! Going to attempt to create one for my son’s first birthday! Wish me luck!!!
Blessings,
Jessica
Hello Jennifer,
This cake is the cutest one i’ve ever seen!
I asked myself if there’s any chance that you can send me the recipe in an e-mail?
I would be very happy about it.
Very great, i’ve to say it again and again :)
What 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.
For 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
Hi 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!

This 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!

This 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. ;)
He is most adorable! Please,please,please tell us how you mastered the fuzzy hair.
Hey Jennifer,
