I made a weight lifting cake.! I first baked the cake in 3 different round pan sizes, then cut the domed top off of each using a serrated knife to ensure a flat stacking surface. I made chocolate icing with a lot of cocoa powder so I would only have to add a small amount of black food gel to achieve a dark black color for the weights.
I used gumpaste tinted with a small amount of black food gel to form a grey weight holder clamp and the edge of a weight lifting bar. Gumpaste is an edible clay-like substance that hardens and is perfect for creating custom decorative figures. I piped on corresponding kg details for each weight, and a happy birthday message on the side of each weight!
