How To Make A Multisided Dice Cake

karenreedy Posted 20 Apr 2011 , 7:04pm

I'chiliad the cake mistress for our bunch of geeky gamer friends and it was suggested that I make an 8 or 10-sided die/dice for a birthday in the group. I take never carved annihilation remotely complicated and am stumped as to how to first. In theory, I believe that if I stack enough cakes to carve 2 pyramid shapes, I can skewer and frost them together at the base to make the dice shape. I likewise saw some other thread where someone indicated that she had instructions for making a 20-sided block, simply as it was ii years old, I don't know if that person is even so around. Whatever assistance whatever is most gratefully appreciated by this rookie. Thanks!!!

wow, that will be something when its finished.

If it were me doing that block I would make a large base and make information technology await like a gamers table or fifty-fifty a game board if that is part of your gamer's RPing.
So the dice wouldn't have to be huge, just a larger accent to the cake. It would exist the centerpiece but not the whole enchilada. Stack enough cake layers high and it could be carved out in one thick mass without having to skewer and frost them together. Icing works well to agree layers together.
Mostly because if you do skewer and frost, there could be the more likely happening of it falling apart.

An 8-10 sided die feels like information technology shouldn't be that difficult, as its just a lot of slanted cuts on the cake. I would hate to run into you lot practise a 20 sided

I ended up making a 20 sided die Because of CakeCentral!! Someone asked how to make one, on a thread just like this. I showed the idea to my brother similar, "Could you imagine?-I can't await to see that cake!" That affiche never posted ane, so IDK if she made it.
His friend had a going away political party a few months after & my brother mentioned he wanted a cake for him. I looked at him and his face up simply said it all. "Yous want THAT block, don't y'all?" He just nodded happily. LOL!

Ok I really want to make the 20-sided dice. Afraid of fondant! Thinking I'g going to stack circle cakes and carve. But then possibly use normal decorating icing?

AUpdate (years after- sorry): I used the "durable block recipe", which I have since been using for every single cake I have made. But the dice were horrible. I was unwilling to effigy out a bunch of math and idea I could just wing it. Nope. Silly. Only funny (I am not a professional). Also, it was an 8 - inch high die and after a couple hours it started to sag. Too heavy I think. And so when making something that big, with the dense durable cake recipe, I think it needs to have a cardboard layer somewhere in there, and dowels.
