Angry Birds Cake

Angry Birds Cake Decorating Tutorial

One of my very favorite hobbies is cake decorating. I find it both challenging and relaxing at the same time. So when I got the chance to create an Angry Birds Cake, I couldn’t resist. While it definitely threw me out of my “comfort zone,” it also allowed me to improve my skills and add another addition to the many cakes I have created! So for Angry Birds fans everywhere, here is a tutorial on making your own adorable Angry Birds Cake!

To begin, I baked a 2-layer 9-inch round cake, which I leveled. I then set the layers together with Homemade Buttercream frosting. After the foundation of the cake was done, I set to work on creating the Angry Birds Characters out of Fondant. I tinted white fondant with Wilton Color Dyes and shaped each character by hand.

Angry Birds Cake Fondant

♥ The red bird, black bird and pigs are round, so they are formed by rolling the tinted fondant into a circle shape. I then used gum paste adhesive to add the fondant “hair” for the birds as well as the pig snouts and ears. The ears are rolled fondant and the snouts are rolled fondant that has been flattened on one side.

♥ The yellow bird was done by creating a triangle and then taking each edge and flattening it against a hard surface.

♥ The logs are done by rolling the fondant with an open hand into the desired length and using either a Wilton brush tool or a toothpick to draw log lines for appearance.

♥ The nest was done by rolling fondant into a circle, pushing down into the middle of it with my thumb and using the brush tool {or even a toothpick} to draw accents.

♥ The eggs in the nest were simply rolled into balls and then rolled some more to created the egg shape.

I recommend letting each shape harden for roughly an hour before adding additional fondant or details. The additional eyes, beaks, etc. are all added using gum paste adhesive.

Angry Birds Cake Rolled Fondant

♥ The eyes and black snout holes were done by rolling fondant into a circle and flattening.

♥ The beaks were rolled into elongated shapes and I squeezed the tips between my thumb and middle finger to form a peak.

♥ The eyebrows are rolled into elongated shapes and flattened.

♥ The tummy colors were done by cutting out the fondant in a circle shape and flattened until very thin.

After they are complete, I would let them sit for at least an hour to dry before placing them onto your cake.

To finish the cake, I colored Buttercream Frosting green and used a spatula to put a thin, green layer of frosting on the top of the cake. I cut out fondant letters for the writing, arranged the Angry Birds Characters as I wanted them and used Wilton Tip # 233 to pipe out green frosting as the grass. I used brown frosting on the sides and finished the cake with lollipop candy circles around the bottom.

I hope this helps you create your next “Cake Masterpiece” and be sure to check out some of my other creations and recipes!
