How to Make a 3-D Skateboard Cake

For this project you will need:

• One 13" x 9" cake
• Chocolate covered mini doughnuts
• Pirouhette cookie sticks
• Buttercream frosting

Instructions:

• Cut arches on the long sides of your baked 9 x 13 cake until the cake resembles a skateboard shape.
• Tint buttercream frosting with food coloring gels and pipe the design of your choice onto the cake. This can be as simple or as detailed as you want.

To keep it easy, you could just use a simple design and your child's name like we did on the cake pictured.

If you're more adventurous, you could create your own design, or copy a design, and transfer it onto the cake using a buttercream transfer.

• When your design is complete, thread the doughnuts onto the Pirouhette cookies and place them on the skateboard to act as wheels.

Element® Skateboard Cake

If you've got a teenager that's into skating, they are sure to love this skateboard birthday cake design!

First, frost the cake with chocolate buttercream frosting.

Use your computer to make a copy of the Element® skateboard symbol and transfer the design onto the cake by creating a buttercream transfer using buttercream frosting.

Then put a birthday twist on the Element® slogan by changing it from "This is my Element" to "This is my Birthday."

Frosting piped into squiggly lines around the cake edges gives it a cool look, and beads of frosting around the bottom completes the look.
