Birthday Cake Ideas

Duck Tub Cake


This is a cake idea especially for toddlers. Duck tub birthday cake is not only easy to make, but also yummy! The entire look of the cake is sure to make even your mouth water!
Ingredients

• Decorating gel


• 1 or 2 small rubber ducks


• 2,16-ounce tubs of white frosting


• Licorice pipe


• 2, 9 by 13 inch cakes


• 2, 3-ounce boxes of gelatin


• Jiggler water


• 2 large marshmallows and 8 mini marshmallows

Process



First prepare the boxes of gelatin as per the recipe given on the packages. When the gelatin is ready, pour it into an 8 inch square pan and refrigerate for about 90 minutes. Halfway through refrigerating, (about 45 minutes) whisk the gelatin thoroughly, until the bubbles are created. Continue chilling after that. Meanwhile, start stacking the cakes, also spread icing between them, in a thin layer. Make a deep rectangle, first make a broad outline, a border at the sides and end of the tub. Scoop out the cake with the help of a knife. Gradually frost the borders of the tub, do not frost the floor of the rectangle. This will be the basin of the duck tub. For making a faucet, simply insert the thin portion of the licorice pipe, upside down into the border of the rectangle. The broader part of the pipe should be inside the tub. Now take the regular sized marshmallows and snip 4 V-shaped notches on top of them. When you are done with it, gently press the small marshmallows on each notch. Place these knobs on the cake and draw the letters H and C with the decorating gel. Also use the decorating gel to outline the bases. Your duck tub cake is ready. Now slowly pour or spoon jiggler water into the tub and set the ducks.
