How to Make an Adventure Time Cake
To make Finn's shoes, start by rolling a snake of black fondant two shoe length pieces and then trim the leg off a little bit higher. Using some water to join the black to the leg, bend it under so that it looks like a boot. Repeat this process for the other leg.
Next, roll out a thin snake of white fondant and wrap it around the join there so that it looks like a sock. You will notice that we have some non-stick baking paper under Finn's feet, which is to prevent his feet from sticking to the bench top.
To make Finn's face, we've just printed out a picture of Finn and I'll put the one in the size that I'm using on the website so you can print it out if you want or just do an image search and find your own. You can scale it up and make it bigger if you need to. Using your finger, just rub around the edges of it to smooth them off so it's rounded. Peel it off the paper and then using a little water on the back to make it stick, add it to the front of your cake.
Using your printout to mark where Finn's eyes and mouth are, his mouth is quite high on his face compared to a normal face. Roll a tiny ball of black fondant and add them into place for his eyes. Then use an edible marker to draw on his mouth.
For Beemo's backpack, roll out some light green and dark green snakes of fondant and join them together like we did with Finn's leg and foot. Then just add them as straps onto the pack. To make a present shape, roll out some pale green and then cut a chocolate bar in two. I am using a Mars bar but if you can't get them where you are any chocolate bar will do, preferably one that is bit boxy rectangular type shape.
Wrap them up like a present and smooth out your sides. You can make Beemo out of solid fondant if you want, i just prefer to have something yummy in the middle. Add your little shapes to the front and then cut out a square for the screen. Using your knife to round out the corners, put that on top.
Add a bit of fondant for the mouth and then draw on the eyes. Then roll a really thin snake of yellow and cut two short bits, cross them over each other and then add them on top. Using your knife to straighten up the edges so it looks like the cross control bit.
To make Finn's arms, follow the same method we did for his legs. Now he looks really weird with no arms, join them onto the side of the body and wrap one around Beemo like it's holding him in place. Cut it off at the right length and then flatten it a bit at the end to make his hand. Use your scissors to make two cuts for his fingers.
Add the other arm in place just letting it rest on his leg and make the hand in the same way. Beemo needs some legs, so roll out a snake of Beemo green and cut a short section and bend it up and one end to make his foot. Using a spatula or a knife so you can get in underneath there, just push the leg end onto the base of Beemo and then add your other leg too.
Make his cute little arms just like we made Finn's and then add it coming out of the 'O' there and then holding onto Finn's hand. For the other one, wrap it around and attach it to the other side of his body. Draw a quick backdrop and you have an Adventure Time cake.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enWelcome to How To Cook ThatI am Ann ReardonToday we are makingan adventure time cake, with finn the humanand beemo.Finn is quite tall and skinny so I'm makinga smaller sized cake so that just used tworound cakes to make him, you can scale itup and make him bigger if you want if youhave lots of people coming to our party.Take your cakes and level off the top.Cut out two full circles using a circle cutter.If you don't have one just get a small roundbowl or something like that and cut aroundit and then we want to use the edges to piecetogether to make another circle.Repeat that on the other cake so you have6 circles altogether.Take a cake stand and put some buttercreamon top to stop the cake moving.Then add your first circle, you want it towardsone side but not right on the edge.Add more buttercream then another layer ofcake.For the cake and frosting recipes that I amusing just visit the website howtcookthat.netI'll put a link in the description below.When you get to a pieced together layer thenadd some buttercream on the edge of each pieceso it kind of glues them altogether then addthat on top.Now because the cake is tall and skinny itis going to need some support after 4 layersjust to stop it toppling over to give it abit more support.So push a cake pop stick down the middle andusing scissors grab it right at the levelof the cake and pull it out again.Cut it off at that level then cut two moreto the same length.Then poke each of those back into your cakeall the way down until you hit the cake stand.And then take a circle of card and wrap itin foil so it doesn't absorb the moisturefrom the frosting.And then add ore frosting and the remaininglayer of cake.So we have used 5 layers of cake for the bodywhich means you have one circle left thatwe will use in a minute.Using a serrated knife shape the top layerto be rounded all the way around the edge.Then cover the whole thing in a thin coatof buttercream and place it in the fridgeto firm up.It is hot here today so this buttercream isfairly soft.To make Finn's pack we are going to use theremaining circle.To make it rounded like his backpack lookstake all the other cake scraps and crumbleout the middle cake crumbs leaving the brownedouter edge of cake. then add some buttercreamand mix it together just like if you're makingcake pops.Place the circle onto some non-stick bakingpaper and add the mixture on top and roundit out to make the shape of his backpack andthen place that in the fridge to firm up.Take your fin cake out of the fridge and completelycover it in another layer of frosting.Then take some acetate or thin bendy plastic,curve it and run it up the sides of the caketo smooth it out.Then add the backpack on the cake stand nextto finn there if you rest it on your handand then slide the paper out underneath itshould go on nice and smoothly.Then if it is too big to fit nicely like mineis just trim a bit off and make it so it fitsin there.Roll out some green fondant, trim off oneside to make it straight and drape it overthe backpack covering two thirds of it.Use your fingers to smooth it out around anddown to the bottom of the platter and thentrim it off using a knife.Repeat that at the top of the pack but usea lighter colour fondant and overlap it alittle.Roll out some blue fondant for his t-shirt,trim it at the top and base and wrap it aroundhis body.Now I know this is the wrong colour for hisshirt it should be lighter but I'm actuallyrunning short on fondant today so we are goingto make his clothes a little bit different,when you make it you can make them the rightcolours.Squeeze it together at the back so that thetow sheets of fondant are well joined andthen trim it off using scissors and run yourfinger along the join to smooth it.Add some white fondant over the top and liftit up and smooth it down, lift it up and smoothit down as you go around.then measure with a ruler and mark at 10cmor 4 inches and do that in a few places around,if I don't do this I always end up cuttingit crooked like it is going down on an angleso I like to mark a few different marks soI know where the knife should go.Then gently press the knife in on that levelwe don't want to cut into our cake, we don'twant to cut through the blue fondant untilthe white fondant comes away.Roll a ball of fondant and then roll it intoa rounded cylinder.Cut it on a diagnol in the middle.Then take one of your pieces and bend thesmaller thinner end around your thumb.And then add them to the top of your cake.On each side.Lets give him purple pants today why not.If you're a mum making this for your kidsmake sure you get it the right colour, theyare actually supposed to be dark blue.Cut a long strip and wrap it around the baseof your cake.Roll out another strip of purple and a longsnake of skin colour fondant.And use your finger to add a little bit ofwater to the purple fondant and then squashdown the end of the skin colour and wrap aroundthe purple around it.Use your scissors to trim it off at the join.Then flatten that end out and then cut itaround so that it looks rounded and add itto the side of your cake for his leg.Trim it off just above the bench height andrepeat that for the other leg.Now to make his shoes, roll a snake of blackcut two shoe length pieces and then trim theleg off a little bit higher and using somewater to join the black to the leg bendingit under so that it looks a bit like a boot.And do that on the other leg as well.Now roll out a thin snake of white and justwrap it around the join there so that it lookslike a sock.You will notice I have some non-stick bakingpaper under his feet, and that is so the feetdon't stick to the bench top.To make his face I've just printed out a pictureof Finn and I'll put the one in the size thatI'm using on the website so you can printthat out if you want or just do an image searchand find your own.As I said you can scale it up and make itbigger if you need to.And then use your finger just rub around theedges of it to smooth them off so its rounded.Peel it off the paper and then using a littlewater on the back to make it stick just addit to the front of your cake.Then use your printout to mark where his eyesand mouth are.His mouth is quite high on his face comparedto a normal face.Roll a tiny ball of black and add them intoplace for his eyes.And then use an edible marker to draw on themouth.For the backpack roll out some light greenand dark green snakes of fondant and jointhem together like we did with the leg andfoot and then just add them for straps ontothe pack.To make Beemo roll out some pale green andthen cut a chocolate bar in two, I am usinga Mars bar but if you can't get them whereyou are any chocolate bar will

mouth and then draw on then eyes.Add a strip of grey and then roll a reallythin snake of yellow and cut two short bits,cross them over each other and then add themon top.And then just use your knife to straightenup the edges so it looks like the cross controlbit.Add the last button, I don't have any redso it's going to be pink today, all our coloursare muddled up.Then turn him on the side and add the 7 littleindents and the letters BMO.Using a little water add him into place onFinn's knee resting on the back pack.You may also need to add a little bit of whitefondant underneath at the back to supporthim.To make Finn's arms follow the same methodwe did for his legs.Now he looks really weird with no arms.Join them onto the side of the body and wrapone around Beemo like it's holding him
