A logo for the band Tool, The Third Eye on a birthday cake. Basically, it's 2 cake rounds, some frosting and a water colored fondant piece. Except the water colors are just food coloring.

You Will Need (4 things)

  • 1 Can Chocolate Frosting
  • 1 packets Fondant
  • 1 Red, Blue, Yellow and Black Food Coloring
  • Cake Candles

Steps (6 steps, 180 minutes)

  1. 1

    Make a cake using 2 cake rounds. Follow the directions on the back of the box.

  2. 2

    Mix the chocolate frosting with black food coloring. Mix until you have desired color.

  3. 3

    Once the cake has cooled. Frost it.

    Next, the hard part. Take the fondant and roll it out. Thinner is better, but it needs to stay together, so not too thin. Cut out the design, I found a design online and free-handed it. Looking back I would trace it instead. Then using a clean paintbrush use the food coloring like water colors. Here is a picture of me doing this step.

  5. 5

    Ever so carefully lay the fondant piece onto of the cake. Mine was kind of fat so it squished my cake a little. It's all good.

  6. 6

    I put on multi-colored flames. It was pretty cool, but you may not be able to find them. Enjoy.
