Ingredients
- 1 Vanilla Cake
- 1 1/2 batches buttercream frosting
- Food Coloring
- White confetti sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Divide buttercream into two batches. Color one with black food coloring for covering the cake and the other can remain white or be colored for the filling. I used both white and purple for the cake’s interior.
- Pipe buttercream onto the first cake layer then add a layer on top and continue building the cake layers. You can add some visual interest by piping rings of different colors for the cake’s interior.
- Cover the cake with black buttercream and smooth it until the cake is evenly covered using a cake scraper.
- Either press white confetti sprinkles on top or pipe little dots of white buttercream to create an array of stars on your cake.
- You can draw the characters onto the cake with a toothpick OR create a stencil by drawing one on a piece of paper then cutting it out. You can even print one out if you’re not a fan of drawing.
- Mix a smaller batch of buttercream up and divide into 5 or so batches. Most will be for the character’s bodysuits one light gray batch will be for the visors.
- Transfer buttercream to piping bags and snip the tips off. Try to keep them pretty small so you can pipe the frosting neatly.
- Pipe the outline for each person then fill in and smooth with a small spatula or knife. Pipe the visor with gray buttercream and repeat for the remaining figures. Chill the cake and smooth any areas that look a bit rough.
- I used my stencil to cut one sugar cookie for the cake topper, which I decorated with buttercream. You can pipe a figure with candy melts which can be covered in buttercream or just pipe more figures on top of the cake.
- Serve or store for later.
Notes
- To make the among us characters you can either draw the outline of them with a toothpick straight onto the cake and fill it in with buttercream OR cut out a drawn or printed stencil and draw around it.
- The cake is easy to customize with your favorite characters, just draw or print out the stencils and create the colored buttercream.
- I think that vanilla cake gives a great visual effect against the black outer buttercream but you can opt for a different flavor like Red Velvet Cake or Chocolate Cake.
- You'll need a lot of buttercream for this for both the filling and decoration, make sure to follow my best buttercream recipe and that your butter is at room temperature before starting!
- It's easier to smooth out the buttercream on the characters once it's been chilled slightly.
- Use small piping bags and cut the nozzles small too so you have more control and can be precise when piping the detail.
- If you can't find white confetti sprinkles you could use silver balls or any sprinkles you like. You can also pipe small dots of white buttercream all over the cake.
- For the cake topper, you can follow my sugar cookie recipe and use your stencil to cut out one or more of the Among Us characters or you can opt to buy a cake topper.
