Back to School A is for Apple Cake
Back To School Apple-Shaped Cake

The best part is, it’s just a few simple cuts from a 8×8 square cake and you’re ready to ice.

Ingredients For Apple-Shaped Cake

  • 1 (8 x 8″ square) pound cake
  • Red tinted icing (I recommend using gel food coloring; other types can make your icing watery)
  • Pretzel rod
  • Green melting chocolate
  • Wax paper

Make Chocolate Transfer Leaves For Apple-Shaped Cake

  1. Place 5 or 6 melting chocolate wafers in a resealable plastic bag.
  2. Heat in 8-second intervals until melted.
  3. Snip corner of bag.
  4. Pipe leaf shapes on wax paper, flooding the shape with chocolate. Allow to set for 3 to 5 minutes before peeling them off wax paper.

How To Decorate An Apple-Shaped Cake

  1. Trim the cake into the shape of an apple (basically trimming off corners and making a dip at the top and bottom)
  2. Chill the cake in the freezer for 15 minutes.
  3. Apply a crumb coat. And then ice regularly, pulling the spatula in a vertical pattern.
  4. Insert ⅓ of a pretzel rod in the top of the cake for the stem.
  5. Add green chocolate leaves.
