Thread: Zombie Cake - help please?

Tweet

Hello all!

My daughter is turning four in a couple of weeks and she wants a zombie cake! I have been scouring online for days for ideas and haven't been able to come up with much. Any help would be greatly appreciated. She is young so I don't want it to gory and I also don't want to do anything with fondant. Thank you so much with any help that you can offer!

You might want to have alook at this link; they have lots of kid-friendly advices and recipes:

Ah, this is what I like talking about! CAKE!! This is my favorite website for cakes. I've searched for zombie and there are lots to look at. I don't share this with just anyone! LOL Have Fun!

Edited to add- I skipped right over the part where you mentioned your daughter is turning 4! Will be tough to find a zombie cake for a 4yr old, huh??

You can also just do a coffin shaped cake with this as a topper:

I bought one, planning on using it this Halloween. Would freak my sister the most since she's already freaked out about Jell-O, something about how it moves I think.

What about having it air brushed on the cake?

I agree with dippedstix. I go onto Cake central all the time too. They have a lot of cake ideas.

I LOVE cakecentral!

My dd is into the creepy stuff too and is only 3. I'd probably find a cartoon with a creepy zombie looking character and draw it on the cake in buttercream,. If she asked me for a zombie cake I'd draw something like invader zim, or she likes corpse bride, something like that.
Or this guy
ThinkGeek :: Dismember-Me Plush Zombie

Do they make any kind of zombie figurines? You could put something like that on top of a regular cake.



I can't help but remember the brain eating zombie cake on ace of cakes, great cake but I guess not for a 4yr old!

Not really a kid friendly cake, but AMAZING none the less and could give you ideas for a less gruesome alternative.

I have made Wolfman, the Mummy, a Witch, Frankenstein cakes before. I use a wilton skull cake pan and it works nicely as base for making really any character you like. I know you don't want to use fondant, but I have found this is what greatly helped in creating the look I wanted for some cakes, especially when you don't have the exact cake form for it. In my opinion, I would recommend it for this endeavor. I believe you will be able to produce a kinder looking zombie this way. I have a pic of my Mummy cake, that can give you an idea to build upon. Sorry, I wish I could have been of more help. Just remember you can always go to a bakery and have them do something, if you are really stumped. Good luck!

She's turning 4 and wants a zombie cake? ....sigh....that would bring a tear to my eye. A future haunter. Hope you find some good ideas. Please post a pic of whatever you make.
