A friend of mine wanted a steak for his birthday so I decided to create a desert that looks like a steak dinner.
For the steak I baked a sheet cake. I cut it into eight even square portions. I took a small knife and cut each square into a rough heart shape. I them shaped white gumpaste into a bone and fit it into the cake. I frosted each piece with chocolate frosting. I then used a tooth pick dipped in black gel food coloring to make the grill marks. Finally I sprinkled a small amount of black sprinkles on each piece to look like pepper.
For the brussel sprouts I took the leftover cake and frosting and used it to make cake balls. I then dipped the cake balls in white chocolate and frosted them with green frosting using a petal tip.
For the baked potato I took vanilla ice cream and formed it into oval shapes. I then refroze them uncovered. Then mixed brown sugar and cinnamon and rolled the icecream in it and froze it covered until ready to use. Right before serving I put a small dollop of whipped cream on each and sprinkle with green sprinkles.
This was a fun project and my friend very much enjoyed the treat.
