How to make a Moon Cake

No.. this isnt a pretty star and moon cake. First youll need two 8'' round cakes.

Second trim the circles. Use the cake scraps to add more.. volume to the buttcheeks.

"Dirty ice" the cakes. It doesnt have to be pretty, the sole purpose of dirty icing cakes it to trap all the crumbs. Once you finish dirty icing, place cake in a freezer for five-ten minutes. The longer the better.

While the cake is in the freezer, start mixing your icings. When finished, pull cake out of the freezer. with a CLEAN spatula gently apply the skin-color icing tothe cakes. If the white icing starts pulling up, clean off your spatula with water. once you got it all covered, get a cup of water. Dip the spatula in the water, tap off any excess water, and lightly graze the top of the cake. The damp spatula wont stick to the icing and this will allow you to get rid of any ugly lines.

outline the face and arms.

Start filling in all the spaces..add little details as you go along..

Tadaaahhhhh..I made this cake for my friends birthday from work. I thought it was something different than a regular birthday cake.
