A few months back, my cousin, Claudine, threw out the idea of having a suprise 40th birthday party for her husband, my cousin, Karl. It was pretty quickly decided that it would be "beer" themed, since Karl does enjoy his brew! I knew that I had to make my favorite Car Bomb Cupcakes, which I've posted on here a few times. After that was decided, I searched the interwebs for a good idea for the cake. I found something fun that I wanted to try, and here are the results.
The cake was made with four 8 inch round cake pans. I used Martha's One-Bowl Chocolate Cake recipe. I used her fluffy vanilla icing recipe for the yellow base and her swiss meringue buttercream for the "foam". I covered a foam twist tie in plastic wrap and then fondant and shoved it into the side of the cake.
The "beer" was made by caramelizing sugar and pouring it over a dowl and twisting. I will admit that this was the hardest part. I've never made candy before, and we really burnt the first batch. Matt helped me figure it out after a lot of googling!
Jack was my baking helper that morning!
I wanted to give the "beer" a golden color to match the Fat Tire Beer that Karl loves so much, and Matt found this gold shimmer sugar in our pantry, and we added a little to the caramel mixture. I think it added a nice sheen to the the "beer."
There was a lot of talk about how to cut the cake, but my dad figured it out. My sister in law makes this recipe all the time, and it is always fantastic, so I thought I'd try out that recipe. It tasted different than hers, but still delicious.
Holly helped her daddy blow out the candles.
Happy Birthday, Karl. We love you!!!
That cake is amazing! I love the sugar beer!!
