Based on a book as dictated by my child, below are the tools and supplies I used to make this Percy themed cake from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottom Cake<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is about a 3 layer-cake to get the height for the panels. Story images were a mix of fondant cutouts and hand painting on fondant panels. First, I hand-drew h the scenes out. Then I traced it onto parchment paper. once I had a good outline on parchment, I overlaid it onto a flat rectangle of fondant (about 1\/8″ thick) and pressed carefully to form some outlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I used a very fine brush and started painting with food paint – working from the background up toward the foreground images. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One the flat parts were painted and dry, I cut out silhouettes of the monsters and characters (using the same draw, parchment trace, and trace on fondant method). These add a nice layered effect (hard to see from the photo). Because the fondant was sticky, I used a sharp exacto-knife and cleaned it often. Also, I found food glue was helpful to make sure they would really stick to the panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once panels were done and dried, I kept them in an airtight container, flat so they wouldn’t crack. To use, I overlaid cake with white fondant, and used a bit of water to glue panels when assembling cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fondant column bent around corners to cover gap around the edges. You could use modeling chocolate as well or a blend so it’s not soft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To hold up the next layer, I put in about 4″ lollipop sticks and then a small square of cake board where the plastic columns would rest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White and blue marbled fondant wavy strips wrap around in alternating levels. Bend down the tops of the high points to create the arc of a wave. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sea foam is whipped up buttercream frosting dabbed on with a spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fondant mermaid tails from molds using neon fondant and luster dust. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trident & lightening bolts are fondant formed with specialty cookie cutter attached with lollipop sticks. They are painted with metallic food paint. I had to dry these out for a long time. A gum paste may be a firmer option (modelling chocolate does not hold the paint). Or make cookies\/crispy treats and cover with fondant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue buttercream frosting on top in a swirl effect too create a contrasting water element and movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
