Portal Cake

Step 10Admire and Enjoy

Admire and Enjoy
Serve promptly, or after a brief (1 hour) stint in the freezer, if you prefer your cake chilled.

  • I found that slicing the cake can prove challenging if you lack a large non-serrated kitchen knife. Even with the proper knife, the cake was so soft the slices started to fall off as soon as they'd been half cut-off.
  • So in retrospect, a good 6-8 hours in the freezer will probably firm it up a little for easier serving. Maybe not more than a day straight, though, if you don't want a frozen block of cake.

Your labors will most likely be truly appreciated by those who recognize the unique appearance of the cake and have played the game before. Giddiness, or in some cases, extended periods of laughter resulting from said recognition are not unusual, and to be expected.

From my years of making cakes (ive made quite a lot) that the cakes you make from a mix wont turn solid in the freezer, even after a few days, they still have a little give
however, that was just the cake itself, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, without frosting or anything else

good instructable btw
