    Bar of Soap Cake

    Wash yout hands and stay safe!

    PSA: Remember to wash your hands! With everything going on in the world right now, I wanted to cake something up as a reminder to everyone to wash your hands diligently and practice social distancing! Not only is it a super simple way to keep yourself safe but also to keep everyone around you healthy. 


    This GIANT bar of soap cake begins with my Ultimate Vanilla Cake marbled in bright pink hues and is filled with a classic Italian Meringue Buttercream. To get an extra squeaky clean look, the entire cake is draped in a smooth marbled pink fondant sheet (this cake is marbled inside and out!!) then topped with pink bubbly milk foam as if it had just been used!

    Bake Your Cakes

    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit then line your pans with parchment paper. Prepare 8lbs of my ultimate vanilla cake then divide the batter into 3 portions. Dye one part a light pink and another a darker pink - leaving one part uncolored. To create the marbling effect, dollop portions of each color into your pans then drag a knife through the batter vertically and horizontally - be sure not to overmix, until you are satisfied with the look. Bake each pan for 1 hour.


    TIP: Let your cakes cool completely in their pans before removing.


    Level and Decaramelize

    Remove your cakes from their pans then level each one and remove the caramelization from the bottoms. Cut your cakes to size and trim away the caramelization as you do so:


    Width: 8”

    Length: 12”

    Height: 5” 


    Rounded Corners and Top

    Use a circle cutter as a template to cut round corners then carefully round off the top of the cake to create a raised centre.


    Keep It Simple!

    Use Sir Squeeze A Lot to soak both of your cake layers with simple syrup then let them sit for a couple of minutes to fully absorb.


    Fill & Stack

    Fill your cakes with Italian meringue buttercream with the rounded sides facing out and flat sides together. 


    Crumb Coat & Chill → Ice Ice Cakey

    Crumb coat your cake with more IMBC then chill until firm. Once you’ve removed your cake, ice once again and chill.


    Marbled Fondant

    Roll your pink fondant into 4 cords and white into 3 cords. Line them up in alternating colors then twist the fondant together and knead slightly. Cut the twists into 4 strips - the best marbling will be in the cross section. Line up the strips then press them together and smooth the surface with your palm. Roll out the fondant into a rectangle larger than your cake then drape it over and smooth it out. Cut away any excess and tuck 


    Details

    Create a “frame” at the top of your cake by using a ruler as a space and a sculpting tool to gently indent the fondant. 


    Lather Up!

    Use your letter cutter to brand your bar of soap however you’d like. I chose to use my cutters to impress “LATHER UP” on my cake. 


    Soap Dish

    Move your cake to a platter then paint the entire surface with clear piping gel to give the surface a shine. 


    Pink Bubbles

    Add a drop of pink coloring to your milk then froth it - I used a cappuccino machine to create a pink milk foam. Use a spoon to add it all over and around your cake for bubbles as if it had just been used to LATHER UP! 


    Congratulations!
