Step 4Make Frosting and Candles!
We have a few types of frosting. The main bits being long and wide strips to act as the top of the bottom tier and the other being the paper that will be where our friend jumps out of.
Great Frosting
Start my measuring how wide and long the top portion of your bottom tier is. Then, roll out some foil to this length and set outside. Liberally spray on some great stuff expandable foam to make a block of "frosting." It doesn't have to be thick - but it needs to completely cover the foil.
Allow this to cure -- then paint.Once the paint has dried -- rip off the foil.
Repeat this 3 more times -- measuring each time ;)
Edge frosting
Edge frosting is done by spraying long lines of foam onto foil -- allowing to cure -- then painting. Finish it off by tearing the foil away.
Top Frosting
No foam here -- just cut a sheet of butcher paper to fit on top - -then lightly paint to look like frosting. I found that keeping the can far away and misting the paper worked best.
Decoration
Make foam dots on foam -- then paint all sorts of funky colors to make stick on cake decorations.
Candle Flame
Stuff some foil down into the top of the 2" PVC. Then spray some foam inside. Allow it to cure -- then spray on more. The idea is to build up a block of foam that can be cut to look like a flame. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect -- it just has to vaguely resemble a candle.
