Breakfast in Bed Cake Tutorial

Skill level: Intermediate

Featuring many of the tricks and techniques used on Food Network’s new Ridiculous Cakes TV show, this breakfast in bed cake is the perfect cake to make for the breakfast-lover!

Featuring a pancake cake that tastes like actual pancakes, a gravity-defying syrup bottle, candy eggs and hashbrowns, even an edible OJ glass and oatmeal cookies, this cake has it ALL.

I was inspired by Chandice’s grazing table and wanted to come up with my very own way to creating a similar effect, but in cake.

This cake also features candy oatmeal cookies made by Joyce Marcellus of Toxic Sweet Shop. Check out the oatmeal cookie tutorial on her YouTube channel in the related videos section.
