    CUTE Hot Air Balloon Cake Video Tutorial by MyCakeSchool.com!

    In this cake video tutorial, I'm going to demonstrate an adorable Hot Air Balloon cake design!This would be perfect for all skill levels of cake decorating, and a great option for birthdays and baby shower cakes!

    Materials:

    In this video, we used our scratch Yellow Cake recipe to fill a soccer ball cake pan -you will have some batter leftover.  (* The Wilton soccer ball cake pan is different than the half ball pan that we often use. This soccer ball pan is 9 inches diameter.)

    Fondant (we used Liz Marek's recipe as usual)

    Tylose- optional. We like to knead a little tylose into our fondant so that it will dry more quickly

    Gum Paste -optional for modeling bear. If you have tylose powder, you can get a very similar consistency by kneading it into fondant.

    Coloring Gels: Wilton Rose (for light and dark pink flags), Mint Green, Chocolate Brown, Warm Brown

    Toothpick, scriber needle, or your tool of choice

    Small paint brush(es)

    Piping Gel for adhesive

    Pink Petal Dust (blush for bear) - optional

    Black Coloring Gel Pen

    Lollipop Sticks

    Rice Cereal Treats (We used three 22g. bars for the basket)

    Cake Cardboards- We used three 19x14 boards, taped together and covered with a blue plastic tablecloth (secured with staples on the other side). You can cover your cake base however you'd like!

      Adorable! Looks like it could be a good opportunity to use basket weave buttercream piping for something other than a floral cake, too :)
