Is a kid in your life crazy about Toy Story? With Toy Story 3 in theatres this summer, it’s a perfect time to make their birthday or special occasion especially out of this world with a Buzz Lightyear cake design. A Buzz Lightyear cake will surely take your child’s event to infinity and beyond—make you the coolest host in the galaxy!
Using a novelty Buzz Lightyear novelty cake tin, you can inspire the imagination and dreams of your budding astronaut and his or her buddies.
Here are some tips to help you easily bake a Buzz Lightyear cake they won’t forget—even after the party is over:
Plan to keep your cake decorating and cleaning processes simple by using a Buzz Lightyear cake pan. To ensure it all goes to plan grease your cake tin, maybe even using some flour, make your batter, pour in and your ready to bake. Bake the cake according to recipe directions and voila—you’ve got a perfectly designed Buzz Lightyear cake foundation!
Now that you’ve got the foundation for your Buzz Lightyear cake (yum), it’s time to decorate it. Buzz Lightyear is such a colorful character you can have such a great time decorating his space suit.
Have a fun time with your icing talent with Buzz’s spacesuit, it is so easy. I have used the Wilton cake tin and followed the instructions to do the icing using a piping bag.
Or you could try incorporating fondant—a rolled, smooth, and creamy icing-like coating commonly used on wedding cakes. To make Buzz have his original colors just dye the icing or fondant to purple, green and white to match his suit.
You can get clever with candies and make each of his space suit buttons have a 3d effect. Try licorice or dark icing in an extruder to bring facial features to life.
Take all your space ranger friends into hyper space and have fun with different ingredients!
After using your Buzz Lightyear cake tin, be sure to soak and clean the pan thoroughly. While novelty baking tins offer funky and fun shapes to add a cool kick to your cake, they can be tricky to clean if they have many indentations in them. Some cake tins have deep sections of indentations just make sure you clean these out well to preserve and keep your cake tin working well for a long time.
Buzz and his space ranger approach would so approve of your amazing cake and the use of a toy story cake tin!
