Building a Tardis.... Cake

When wanting to build this device that goes through wibbly wobbly timey wimey  you have to carefully plan out what you will be doing. In this first step, you will be required to draw out... a template. Measure out the size of the cake, then divide in almost eight parts. Remember the sign on top when doing this measuring. measure the lines and details, and don't forget the windows. The Doctor does need to look out at times. 

Once this is accomplished, we will need to spackle on a nice base of frosting. Roll out the fondant tell it is the correct thickness and size to cover the whole cake. An easy way to do this is like a pie crust and lightly roller over the rolling pin. Though try to center as much as possible the first time, the fondant should be thick enough to fix any mistakes in the transfer. Lay it smoothly, pinch at the corners of the cake, and trim any excess for fondant. Then start measuring and tracing the planned stencil on the cake. At this point, expect there might have to be changes though sticking as close to the plan will help in the long run. Remember all details will be noticed after the paint is applied, so make sure to press in all the details. 

Once the lines are all pressed in the cake, it is time to give this girl a fresh coat of paint. This blue was found as a frosting spray paint in the Wilton's section of Walmart. Give this a good coat, and then a second coat for touch ups. 

With a special white sheet of frosting paper, trace and cut out the two windows, the booth sign, and the door sign. Before applying it to the cake, draw in the other details. I used a sharpie and just didn't let anyone eat the white stuff, but there might be a food friendlier way of doing this. Apply frosting in the back and place them where needed on the cake. The frosting will make it stick on the cake. 

Ok, so there is one part that if missing will mean the Tardis has no way of lighting it's way through the galaxy. That would be.... the light. Dah! This will require the extra fondant that was scrapped from the edges, yellow and blue food dye, thin paintbrush and a skewer. First, take a little of the fondant, dab some yellow food dye on it, and start kneading. Use the amount needed to make the light the right size for your tardis. Too small and you will get lost, and too big and you'll be going wibbly wobbly. Once the color is correct, create a round cylinder shape. Put this to the side. Then you will get more fondant, put blue dye into it, and knead. This will then be divided into two, flattened and placed on top of and bottom of the yellow cylinder. now drop some blue food dye on a dish, take the small paintbrush, and paint on the lines on the yellow cylinder. Place this now onto the skewer that should be cut down to size, and place on the top of the cake. The right size will hold the light together while enough to place on the cake and hold it in place. 

There it is. Ready for helping take your party to where it might never be on time, never were expected, but ALWAYS were needed and that is the place there is going to be fun!
