    Prepare Modelling Chocolate

    Prepare your modelling chocolate. Let set overnight. 


    Prepare Vanilla Cakes

    Line your pizza pan with a circle of parchment paper, and grease around the edge liberally. Prepare your vanilla cakes, and pour into pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out completely clean. Let cool completely on pan. 


    Prepare Buttercream

    Prepare your Italian Meringue Buttercream. Set aside. 


    Prepare Simple Syrup

    Prepare your Simple Syrup. Set aside. 


    Remove Caramelization

    Once cooled, use a serrated knife to remove the caramelized crust of your cake. Mark a 1 border around the top edge, where the crust would lay, and skim the cake away within the border. 


    Dye Fondant

    Colour your white fondant with Wilton Ivory Icing Colour until you have reached a crust colour. 


    Roll Fondant

    Measure the perimeter of your pizza and divide the number in half, dividing your fondant in half, rolling one half into a tube long enough to cover half the perimeter. Brush piping gel around the edge of your pizza. Repeat this process for the other half of your pizza crust. Press the fondant down with your fingers to create little dimples and smooth out your two seams. 


    Caramelize Fondant

    Set your pizza cake onto a cake pan to raise it off your table top. Using your brulee torch, caramelize your fondant. Using a small paring knife, carve away any burned vanilla cake. 


    Dye Buttercream

    Measure cup of buttercream and dye deep red using Wilton Red (No Taste) Icing Colour. Whisk in your jam and mix together. 


    Grate Modelling Chocolate

    Take your modelling chocolate and grate. Sprinkle on top of your sauce. Use your brulee torch again, and heat your modelling chocolate to look like melted cheese. 


    Prepare Pepperoni

    Use a circle cutter to cut disks out of fruit strips to create pepperoni. You can thin them out using a rolling pin. 


    Prepare Green Peppers

    Thinly slice your green wine gums to resemble green peppers. Rub shortening or vegetable oil on your knife to prevent sticking. 


    Prepare Bacon

    Cut your fruit twists into four pieces, cutting both horizontally and vertically to resemble bacon. 


    Prepare Olives

    Using a chefs knife cut your black licorice into slices, then use a #12 round piping tip to cut an inner circle to resemble olives. 


    Melt Modelling Chocolate

    Grate more modeling chocolate over your toppings, and melt again with the brulee torch. 


    Add More Cheese

    Grate white chocolate over the whole pizza to resemble parmigianino cheese. 


    Congratulations!
