Father's Day Shirt Cake

[Guest guest]

Your child doesn't have to be a baker or tailor to create this Father's

Day cake that looks like a shirt.

 

Note: Organic ingredients are recommended...

 

INGREDIENTS:

9 " X 12 " X 2 " cake (store-bought or homemade from scratch or a mix)

Pastel icing the color of dad's favorite shirt

Cardbord shirt box (ask at the drycleaner's), lined with waxed paper

White paper for making a shirt collar and two cuffs

Colorful frosting for the tie

 

METHODS:

Bake a cake in a 9-by-12-inch cake pan,

remove from the pan, cool, and place on waxed paper.

Start by lining a 9-by-12-inch cardboard shirt box with tissue paper.

Cover with a larger piece of waxed paper and flip the cake over

and set it bottom-up in the box.

Frost with a pastel-shirt colored icing.

Cut a collar and two cuffs out of white paper.

The collar is a strip, rolled into a ring and taped,

with a small V cut out of the center.

The cuffs are rectangles with candy cufflinks.

Add a colorful frosting tie below the point where the collar will be

placed.

Just before serving, trim away the waxed paper and add the collar and

cuffs.
