Corona Cake


I made this for my brother 21st birthday.  Its only appropriate that it be an ice bucket, filled with corona’s. It is Chocolate cake with chocolate filling. The outside is covered in fondant and hand painted with silver dust luster. The ice is a sugar and corn syrup mixture. The corona’s of course are real and were totally delicious!! Thanks for looking!!!l_dfacfd864de7fa72849e5dc030fbdd55.jpg

 Ice Receipe

1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
i mixed in a microwave safe bowl
put on high for 6 mins, gave it one last stir while hot and poured over crumbled tin foil…..(i sprayed the tin foil with pam or any non stick spray)
let it set for like and hour or two…it should be rock hard….and ready to go…if you leave it in the microwave for a longer amount of time it takes on a yellowish cast…..also the bowl you use to cook and pour the candy from will have the left over candy in and will be rock hard as well just let it soak in some hot water for about 15 min and it will desolve whatever was in there….if you try to scrub u will be there for like 5 hours…hahahaha thank you all for your interest in the ice receipe..sorry it has taken me forever to get it up here!!! i hope you share your pics of your ice with me in the future!

    Hey I love your cake. I was actually working on a cake very similar to this for my little brothers 21st birthday. I have done a few practice ones but I have been having problems with my ice cubes. Is there anyway you could let me know how you made yours. Also the cans on my cooler cake don’t like to stay up. How did you get yours to stay so nice. I would really appreciate any help so I can nail these last few details on my bros cake. Thanks

  21. Amber, October 4, 2009:

    Just wondering what you think is the best way to have the Corona’s stand upright. Did you insert some sort of piping(PVC?) into the cake for bottle support? Thanks…

  22. Becky, October 8, 2009:

    hi Amber…i basically bought the little cornitas!!! i scooped a little hole for each bottle and just placed them in with some icing!!! no secrets…just that…but make sure not to travel with the bottle in the cake…put them in when you get to your location!!!! good luck!!! and thanks for looking at my site!!!!
