Description
My friend Shima's husband, Ram, loves Threadless and it was his birthday this past weekend. Ram and Shima are the coolest couple I know so I decided that my Threadcake entry will be made for Ram's birthday. Ram owns many Threadless t-shirts, but most of them involved designs that I cannot emulate in cake form because of my limited cake decorating skills. So I picked this toast design, which is a shirt owned by Ram's brother, Krishna.
I started by making an 8-inch square chocolate cake, which is then covered with vanilla buttercream frosting. Once chilled, I carved out the shape of the toast and wrapped it in flesh-tone fondant. The bread crust, arms and faces are made of brown fondant. The knife was also made of fondant. The last step involved colouring the vanilla buttercream frosting and piping out swirls of "jam" on the toast.
I think the cake was well-received at Ram's party, although some dirty-minded folks thought that the arms looked like penises.
