Betty Boop Cake - HELP!!!

[pucker]

Hi everyone. I am looking for directions on how to make a Betty Boop cake for my niece's birthday coming up in March. Can anyone provide any help? I've been looking for a moulded cake pan, but they don't seem to make one anywhere.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

[BBooper]

i saw a BB cake in a book once. it was just a normail cakes with a marzipan betty on the top! :) My pen pal also had a cake with BB on it, she sent me a pic of it! D it was just one of the image-icing ones. maybe there is somewhere near you that specializes in cake making and you would be able to take a picture of BB with you to show them. you never know..they might be able to help you! :) Good luck!

I searched to see if there were any cake suppliers with a Betty Boop form but didn't find any. I know there are some candy forms but no cake forms. The bakery should be able to come up with something if you decide not to make it yourself. Good luck and take a picture of it for us once you come up with something.

[JennyBoop]

Here the best advice I could give you on that. I have never seen cake pan's shaped like Betty. So the next best thing I think you could do is take A picture of Betty to A professional cake decorator and see what they could do with it. I was A cake decorator at my last job for 10 years and when someone would come in with A picture I would trace that picute on to A cake and then I would airbrush it with food colorings the way the picture looked or with the way the customer wanted it. Now you do have to becarfull with copy right infringment too some might not do it. So maybe you should call around first to diferent bakerys and see if they would do it? Also make sure you give them enough time to do the cake.:D I hope I was of some help.:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

That's good advice Jenny but after re-reading her post, I think she is trying to make this cake herself for the birthday party.

Hopefully she is creative enough to come up with something... maybe she should decorate with Betty Boop party supplies and then just go with a generic birthday cake?

That's what I've done in the past.

[JennyBoop]

Yea decoration's might be her only option.:(

[pucker]

Just to let you know what I've decided to do....I've printed off a picture of Betty and have had it blown up to 11 x 14 size. I'll use the picture as a template and trace it onto a square cake (you lay the picture over top of the cake and use toothpicks to poke along the outline of the picture, then just fill in with the icing) Hopefully it'll work. It is a lot of work...but my niece is a sweetie and totally worth it. I'll post a pic when I'm done and let you all see how it turned out.

Thanks for all your responses......you are great!

[10eke]

oh, yes, please post a pic of how it looks!!

Pucker we're all anxiously waiting for the results of your Betty Boop cake!!

[pucker]

I will post a pic as soon as I do the cake. Sara's birthday isn't until March 23rd, so look for it around then.

Pucker

[Bikerbettyboop]

Thanks for the update.... it sounds like it will be a great party. How old is your neice? Is she the big Betty Boop fan or is it you? I hope you visit us more often.

[BBooper]

oooh, i'll be waiting :P

[Bikerbettyboop]

I bet the cake comes out really cute!!

[JennyBoop]

Yea I bet it does too. One of the things I just realized is, that when I worked as A cake decorator at my local grocery store, I didn't do one Betty Boop cake design? Which is kind of surprising considering how popular Betty is.:confused:

[Bikerbettyboop]

So do you miss cake decorating? I bet that was a lot of work and took a lot of talent too.

[pucker]

I love cake decorating. I only do it strictly as a hobby as it's quite a stress reliever for me. I'm certainly not a professional....but the cakes I have made have turned out pretty good (just goes to show that anyone can do wonders with a shaped cake pan and gel icing colours! ha ha) I've been asked by friends lately to do a ton of Sponge Bob cakes, so I'm actually excited to change and try the Betty Boop.

You must be an excellent decorator, JennyBoop. I might take some decorating classes (Wilton offers them) just for fun.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Don't forget to post your picture of the Betty Boop cake. Sounds like you are talented if friends are asking you to make cakes for them too.

[JennyBoop]

Yea actually I do miss cake decorating, maybe sometime I can get A job in A bakery again, I do like that kind of work. The reason I quit my job, is I worked in A grocery store bakery department and they just did not know who treat their employees right at all. The grocery store business is all about how much money they can make and forget about their employees. When we have A little welcome home party for my hubby, I think I am going to make him A cake and decorate.:D Yea you should take some cake decorating classes it might be fun. I was trained at the store where I worked for A few days, and the rest I learned on my own, but I am alway's willing to learn more.:D

[pucker]

Where's your husband?

[Bikerbettyboop]

Jenny I've heard that about the grocery store chain bakery depts.

Ever thought of starting your own bakery business? Did you do cakes or all of it? I'd love to have a bakery inside a restaurant. We need restaurants here where I live.

[pucker]

Wow Jenny. I just want to let you know how much I admire and respect the soldiers who are fighting for us. I am a Canadian (live in Calgary, AB) and my father served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 42 years. He did his share of peace keeping duties in Lebanon, Egypt and Cyprus, and I will always remember how wonderful it felt every time he came home. I know that your US Forces are fighting for we Canadians and our freedom as well. We don't all agree with our Cdn "leaders" in the decision not to aid in the battle in Iraq. My heart and best wishes go out to you and your family. Tell your husband that "the great white north" says hi and "thank you!"

[JennyBoop]

Thank You Pucker for you kind words and support. It means alot to me and my husband especially him knowing that he has alot of support back here in the staes and in Canada.:D Tell your dad that I admire me and respect him for serving in the military as long as he had. I have ALOT of respect the military.:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Wow Pucker what a nice message you left for Jenny... thank you for your support!!

[pucker]

Hi everyone.... I finished my niece's birthday cake today. I think it looks alright. I did have a little problem with my icing when I was decorating the background of the cake, but otherwise I think it turned out well for a first try. I left a little room on the left of the cake to write one of those standard "Happy 17th Birthday" slogans. Hopefully Sara (my niece) will like it. All in all, it was not as painful as I thought it would be to make it. I've attached a pic....let me know what you think.

[boopsiegirl]

Hi Pucker, Yum that cake looks delicious. I want a piece LOL that cake is great I cant believe you made that. I love to bake I wish I could make a cake like that. Your niece must have loved the cake. Talk to you soon Gina :D

[10eke]

oh my! I want a cake like that for my b-day too!!!! that cake is so cool!

[JennyBoop]

That look's really, really, really good. I hope your niece liked it?:D I'm sure she did though.:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Pucker... I just have to say that is the best looking Betty Boop cake I have ever seen!!! How old is your niece and did she love it?? I bet it took a long time to do and it sure came out nice!!! Good for you!! What a great idea that was and it looks wonderful!!

[pucker]

Thanks guys... I'm pretty happy with it. Of course, every time I look at it I see mistakes or places I could have done better....but hey, we women are way to critical of ourselves anyways. ha. My 4 year old daughter helped me out, she loves to help me bake cakes. She's telling all her friends that "mommy made a betty boob cake". Sara's birthday isn't actually until tomorrow night so we'll see how she reacts. Hopefully she likes it.

Take care.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well you and your 4 year old daughter did a great job and don't be so critical of yourself. It's wonderful!! Have fun at the party... it's going to be a great hit!! Your daughter sounds really cute... it's not the first time I've heard Boop mispronounced.. haha!!

[BBooper]

WOW!!! that cake is brilliant!! i can't imagine how long it took you to decorate it!! i know i'd be VERY happy if i was your niece! i don't think i'd be able to cut it up!! lol, you daughter sounds too cute!! hehe! :P

[pucker]

Thanks BBooper. It actually didn't take that long to do. (as far as cakes go) I think I spent about 3 hours on it. (I've been known to spend 5 or 6 decorating a cake) so this was not too bad. My niece did love it...but not as much as my sister-in-law (her mom). It was a fun birthday.

[livingbooper]

Awesome! Well done!

[BBooper]

hehe! cool! bet it's all been gobbled up now!! do you do cake making as a profession or as a hobby?

[Bikerbettyboop]

HI Pucker... glad to hear it was such a huge success! I'll bet you'll get more requests for Betty Boop cakes now that you've shown you can do a professional job of it!!

[HeatherBB]

pucker that cake looked delicious could you please tell me how you made it so i can make one for my party?

btw guys i changed the theme of the party it is now a...BETTY BOOP PARTY you see all my friends like betty boop and i thoght i would change the theme seeing as i ordered all that stuff from bright ideas!
I'll send you a pic of the plates cups etc ASAP

[BBooper]

oh, cool!!! yey, pic's, we all love pic's here :P Have a fun time :)

[pucker]

Hi HeatherBB....no problem....What I did was find a pic of Betty that looked relatively easy to copy. I printed it out on a regular sheet of paper (I made the picture about 9 inches by 12 inches to fit one of my rectangle cake pans). I then traced the picture onto white tissue paper (the kind you use in gift wrap). Once the picture was on the tissue paper, I laid it over top of the cake and used a toothpick to poke holes along all of the lines (transferring the pattern to the cake). I used one of those "cookie writer markers" to connect the toothpick holes on the cake so that I could see the outline clearly. Once I did that, I just used my cake decorating stuff to outline and fill her in. It sounds like a lot of nit picky work. but it actually did not take too much time at all. As long as the picture you choose doesn't have a ton of detail it is actually pretty easy.

[BBooper]

wow, sound's like some pretty neat stuff!!! you make it sound so easy!!! :P

[JennyBoop]

Well your cake turned out just lovely!!!

[boopcrazy]

All I have to say is WOW!!!!!!!!! that cake looks AWSOME, and that happens to be my all time favorite betty pose.

One of the tattoo's I want to get is that pose. I have an ornament that my cousin (a fellow booper) gave me that I plan on takin in with me to get it.


Great Job!!!!!!!!!!!

[boopcrazy]

Pucker hope u don't mind I printed out a copy of your cake pic. I just loved it soooooooo much and will be showin it to everyone i can.

[Melissa Jones]

My b'ay is very soon & I'm gonna try & get my mummy to make me such a lovely cake. What a lucky niece you have.
over the years i've become the chosen cake maker in our family maybe i'll try it myself, although i'm only an ammeture my nephews have loved them all. I've tried my hand at Mickey Mouse, scoccer fields, race car & bike tracks, letters and number cakes. So i think the family must now include a BB cake---just for me.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hi Melissa.. when is your birthday? A Betty Boop cake would make a wonderful birthday cake wouldn't it? Good luck on getting it made.. be sure and show us a picture of it!!

[Melissa Jones]

i'm still waiting on the photos from my surprise party inc my BB cake. but the minute i get them i'll put them up for all to see

[Melissa Jones]

P.S. has anyone else had a BB cake or even made one?? please share pics if you have.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey Everyone... my mom's birthday party went great!! We had a BBQ and made home made ice cream and I also made her a homemade birthday cake!! I put #7 and #5 on it for her 75th birthday. I gave her a Betty Boop collector's doll and some other things and she was very happy!! I told her that everyone from the forum wished her a happy birthday and she said that was really nice of everyone and she said a great big "THANK YOU!"

[Melissa Jones]

Hey Biker glad the party went well.

I did see the pic at the beginning of the thread. It what made me want one for my b'day - i was just curious if anyone else was lucky enough to have got one.

I'm still waiting for my pics so i can post mine. small clitch with camera - hope pics are ok.

[boopcrazy]

[Bikerbettyboop]

[Melissa Jones]

Party on girls

ps Pics should be on the way v.soon

[Bikerbettyboop]

Mel... I heard of a woman in her 70's who was still riding... I'll have to check into that... it would be interesting to find out.

[boopcrazy]

that really would be cool to find out, if not then maybe you could be the first.

[BBooper]

[Melissa Jones]

its nice to put faces to names.

BTW B'day pics should be up by end of week. fingers crossed ;)

[Neckless]

Beautiful cake. I'll tell bb68 to come here to see what to do.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Neckless it appears that you're reviving some of the old threads again!!

[bettyboopfan]

I have always wanted a BB birthday cake!!

No bakery would ever do one for me.
Something to do with BB is a licensed trademark that they don't have the right to???

Now I have the directions from Pucker and I will be making my own this year!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Well be sure and take a photo of it when you're done so you can share it with all of us.

[bettyboopfan]

Yes, I will!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

And don't forget all the Betty Boop party supplies to go along with the cake too!!

[bettyboopfan]

Must have the BB party supplies!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yeppers.. the party wouldn't be complete without the Betty Boop party supplies!

[bettyboopfan]

What a wonderful party that would be to have.

BB birthday cake and all the party supplies as well!!
