00:05 - Hey everyone, it's Coque,
00:06 welcome to another episode of Quake and Bake.
00:08 So I got a ton of requests last week
00:11 to do something Jack-o-lantern related,
00:14 so I thought I'm going to make a Minecraft
00:17 Jack-o-lantern cake in spirit for Halloween.
00:20 So I already have my cake made,
00:23 and I made it in these little square pans,
00:25 and I'm going to stack three of them.
00:28 You can use a pumpkin cake,
00:29 I used a spice cake, which is really yummy.
00:32 So we're going to level out the cake
00:34 so we can go ahead and stack them.
00:36 So you're going to level out each layer of the cake
00:38 by chopping off the top portion of the cake.
00:41 If you don't have a cake leveler,
00:43 I'll put a link in the description where you can get one.
00:45 So now I'm going to use some white frosting,
00:47 and I'm going to place a little bit on the base
00:49 where I have some foil so that the cake doesn't move anywhere.
00:52 I'm going to place the cake right on top.
00:54 Then we're going to place frosting
00:55 between each layer of the cakes,
00:57 and stack them until we have a perfect square.
01:00 Once all layers are stacked,
01:01 we're going to dirty ice the whole cake.
01:04 Now that the whole cake is iced,
01:06 place it in the fridge,
01:07 and we're going to prepare our fondant.
01:09 So now I'm going to dye a white piece of fondant
01:11 with yellow and red oil-based dye
01:13 to create a really light orange.
01:15 So we're only going to use just a little bit of the red,
01:19 so maybe that much.
01:23 And we're going to throw the stick away.
01:24 Grab a new one and get some fresh yellow.
01:27 So we're going to put more yellow than the red.
01:31 Now we're just going to blend this all together
01:33 and mix it evenly throughout the fondant
01:35 and see what kind of orange we get.
01:38 If the fondant gets too sticky,
01:39 just add a little bit of powdered sugar.
01:41 So once you have an orange that you're satisfied with,
01:43 we're going to roll out our fondant very thin.
01:48 Make sure to turn it often
01:50 and have some powdered sugar underneath it
01:52 so it doesn't stick to your surface.
01:54 So now that your fondant is all rolled out,
01:56 grab your rolling pin and we're just going to fold it over
02:00 and roll it up.
02:02 And then we're just going to carefully roll it over
02:07 the top of the cake and press it down firmly.
02:13 You can pull it a little bit,
02:16 but try not to pull it too much
02:20 'cause then it'll start cracking.
02:21 So just try to push it down and rotate it.
02:24 (upbeat music)
02:27 So don't worry if your fondant isn't completely flat
02:38 and it has a bit of bumps in it.
02:39 Since this is a pumpkin,
02:41 it's going to add some texture to it.
02:42 So now I'm going to paint the details
02:44 with a paintbrush, a synthetic paintbrush.
02:47 And I put a little bit of vodka in here
02:49 with a little bit of red food coloring
02:50 and brown food coloring.
02:52 So we're going to do the details of the pumpkin
02:57 and I'm going to start with the brown.
02:59 (upbeat music)
03:01 So we're going to do brown to all four corners.
03:07 I've also cut out some eyes and the mouth
03:11 with yellow fondant and I'm going to place them on the face
03:13 just so I don't accidentally paint over it.
03:15 So I'm going to use frosting to kind of act as the glue.
03:19 (upbeat music)
03:22 (machine whirring)
03:25 So once you're done painting on your decorations,
03:37 I added a Tootsie Roll cut in half for the top stem
03:41 and then you should have yourself
03:43 a Minecraft Jack-o'-lantern cake.
03:46 I'm really happy with the way it turned out.
03:47 Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect.
03:49 It's a pumpkin and none of them grow the same.
03:52 So I hope you guys enjoy this and have fun with it.
03:54 Try it out yourself.
03:55 If you do, tweet me a picture @iaskeflick
03:58 'cause I would love to see what you guys create.
03:59 Also, leave a comment below on what you guys
