The Condom Cake

The Condom Cake

For this cake I cheated and used a Betty Crocker Box Mix. The secret was using a very rich homemade chocolate icing which gave the cake the made-from-scratch flavour and appeal.

Chocolate Icing:

3 c. icing sugar

1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa

1/2 cup butter, melted

1 tsp. vanilla

1/4 to 1/3 c. warm milk (or water). I would ere on the lower end, to ensure the icing is firm enough for decorating using a piping bag.

Steps:

1. Bake two layer cakes using a box mix such as Betty Crocker's Devil's Food. And allow to cool.

2. Assemble the two cakes with a layer of icing in between.

3. Take a knife and make eight slices in the cake that are the length of a condom. Do not let the slice come to close to the edge or centre of the cake, and make them so that they are like spokes on a bicycle wheel. Next, carefully insert the condoms very slowly to avoid cracking the cake. After the condoms are in place, cover the cake in a thick layer of icing (if the insertion of the condoms has caused the cake to crack at all, lots of icing will act like glue to help keep it together).

4. Use a piping bag and decorative tip to decorate the edges of the cake (see image) and to make small "nests" on the top in which to put rings. The rings I used were bought from the dollar store, and are available at most party supply stores.

5. Put the rings on the cake, and scatter silver dragees around the top and sides. Put in candles. Serve to fun-loving guests!

Tadaa!
