Beetle cake tutorial bug birthday cakes!

How to make a Rhino beetle cake! Perfect for any bug lover and a great way to give a smaller 3D cake a go! I made my bug cake a bit cartoony and goofy but you could use similar methods to make yours look realistic if you prefer :) I really enjoyed using the colour splash dusts to give the cake a iridescent look, what other cakes would you guys like to see this effect on?

Once smooth and creamy, fold in the flour. Pour in to a greased cake tin and bake in the oven at 180degrees for approximately 40 minutes, until golden brown and a knife comes out clean. Buttercream recipe - 600g icing sugar, sifted 300g unsalted or salted butter, softened optional flavouring Beat the ingredients together. Chocolate ganache recipe - - To make chocolate ganache you can simply melt chocolate with double cream in a glass bowl above a pan of boiling water ( I use the hob to heat the water, but be sure to turn this right down once the chocolate begins to melt so it doesn't burn). I use the ratio of 3 to 1 chocolate to double cream.
