Trim off the excess fondant at the junction with the rectangle and smooth. Then spread out a circle in yellow fondant to cover the head of the Minion with it.Cover the cake in fondant and cut the excess with a knife. Once the icing is well-set, roll out the yellow fondant in a rectangle long enough to go around the cake and wide enough to cover it up to the line of the Minion's glasses.Other wise your fondant would slide down because of its weight while your cake waits ( not in the refrigerator, because of the fondant) to be eaten.Īnd also, if any of you makes this Minion cake, please share the picture with me on Facebook, I’d love to see how you got on! But it is long, very long… And I should remind you not to use anything else for a nice, firm base for the cake and a buttercream or chocolate ganache for the icing. The rest is simple, it’s a bit like playing with plasticine. More seriously for those who intend to embark on the adventure of making this 3D Minion Cake, the only complicated step is to cover the cake and the polystyrene base ( yes, we are making a mutant Minion: half-cake, half-polystyrene) of fondant. When you spend two hours on decoration, this is not a cake anymore, this is a piece of art! In a way, I’m a little bit sad when I think it is going to be cut to pieces… But we had so much fun making it, he played his role brilliantly, he can be eaten in peace now.

It takes courage to make this 3D Minion cake. Aurélie and I are quite proud of that one.
