This is the Xbox controller cake I made today. It turned out pretty cute. I was nervous because it is my first carved cake. It is made out of chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream and fondant controls. I'll post some better pictures later. I took this one with my phone.

  1. How many layers of cake is that? Just curious :D

  2. Hey, Ana! I actually made two sheet cakes, 9x13, and stacked them with some butter cream icing in between the layers. Next, I carved out the shape and then I spread some more butter cream in between the layers. I put it in the freezer and then I put on the crumb coat. I put it back in the freezer and then after that I put on the final coat of icing and then the decorations (fondant controls).

    I'm leaning toward a four layer cake, though. I think I should split the layers and use a lot more butter cream as well as other flavors. It seems to make the cake more moist and delicious!
