M and M, Gravity Defying, Cake

This search might help a bit: m&m gravity cakes

For the packet you can do a real cake covered in fondant and print the packet content on rice paper and them cover the cake with it!! It should give a nice effect ;)

Hi Tinastreats,
I did an M&M Gravity defying cake for my dad’s birthday this year (he’s a huge m&m lover.) I used the actual packet for a few reasons, #1 copyright issues. Since I bought and used their actual packet, I wasn’t recreating their likeness, otherwise you would need to get written permission #2 it was extremely lightweight and made transport so much easier! Good luck with your cake! Have fun – if you want to see a pic of the one I did, it’s in my cake pictures.

I’ve done several, & I TOTALLY agree with SB Cake Design—-using the packet avoids any copyright issues & also saves you a lot of time & work. I stuff it with cotton balls & they help hold the dowel in place inside the packet. Wrap the dowel with a thin layer of fondant first & it will be much easier to glue the M&Ms on. I learned the hard way—-use Wilton candy melts for glue & let them cool a bit. You have to hold the M&M until it sets, & the melts set WAAAAYYY faster than actual chocolate. Plus you can match the color to your cake.

This is fantastic advice. Especially cotton balls and I never thought about copyright although I’ve heard so much about it recently. Thanks everyone and I love the cakes they’re just great I will have to post mine when I’ve done it especially if it turns out anywhere near as good as yours!
