My first cake of 2024 was a Toilet Paper / Poop cake!! I hope this is not a harbinger of things to come. LOL
And here is a better view of the poop!
For the top of the cake/toilet paper roll, I used circle cutters to make the ring-like marks in the fondant. I had a set of regular size cutters (1/2" through 4-1/2") that I used for the center rings, but for the larger sizes (5"-7") I made cutters using my 3D printer. Using a smaller cutter, I cut out the center from the white fondant and replaced it with a circle of brown. The top piece went onto the prepared 7" cake.
Here are some of the circle cutters I made.
Then I rolled out a long strip of white fondant, embossed it with an impression mat, cut it to a height to match the height of my cake (5"), and finally using a stitching tool I made marks every 4" (to represent the pieces of toilet paper). Once the long strip of fondant was prepared, I gently rolled it onto a small rolling pin, and then unrolled it onto the side of the cake. Easy.
For the lettering on the side of the cake I used FMM Art Deco Upper and Lower case letters, and for the lettering on the 12" cake drum I used the FMM Alphabet set Upper 1.5cm and Lower 1cm. Side note: The poop was made with chocolate fondant, so the birthday boy ATE IT!
This was a fun cake to make for Jan 1, 2024.
