How to Make a Hologram Cake

Holographic images are very attractive to look at because of their unique feature of reflecting different color lights. Now-a-days the use of holographic images has increased a lot. As they are used in different items like greeting cards, shoes, shirts, etc., they are also been used in cakes today. There are many simple ways to create a hologram cake, you can purchase an already made holographic design and fix it to the top of the cake with icing. But, it is a lot more attractive if the cake is designed and decorated with luster dust.

1. The very first step is to bake a cake of the flavor and the shape and size that you desire. When the cake is fully baked remove it from the baking pan and rest it on the cooling stand. Let the cake cool completely and make sure that its surface is smooth and without any bumps. If it isn’t, then make it smooth with the help of a knife. The surface has to be flat so that it can reflect the light properly without creating any gloom.
2. To start to design a holographic image, make a sketch of the image that you desire on a piece of paper. Fill it in with the color of your choice. You can make use of different colors or even shades of each color to give it a more attractive look.
3. The next step is to frost the cake with a white icing. It could be either cream cheese, or vanilla or anything else. Also make sure that the icing is flat as the surface.
4. Take a piping bag and fill it with some gel icing. Copy the image that you made on the sheet, on the cake with the gel icing. Make it carefully so that it does not leak.
5. Take different colors of luster dust and place it on different dishes. Slightly wet your fingers and sprinkle each color of the luster dust on the cake as per your image. Make sure to sprinkle only half-teaspoon at a time. You can also mix different shades of the same color to give your cake a holographic effect.
