  • Welcome to How To Cook That I am Ann Reardon today we are making all your favorite apps

  • on a much requested iPad cake. I will show you two different ways to make

  • the iPad so let me know in the comments which one you prefer which one looks better.

  • Firstly though we are going to make our apple box and to make that you'll need one and a

  • half quantities of the rich chocolate cake recipe and bake that in two trays. The recipe

  • videos and everything that you'll need to make the iPad cake are all on this weeks blog

  • post and I'll link to that in the description below the video.

  • Once your cakes have cooled level them out and then cut them in half. Then place a small

  • amount of frosting onto the cake board, followed by the first layer of cake. Cover that in

  • frosting then add two more layers of cake. So you'll have one layer spare.

  • Now trim the edges to make that as straight and box like as you can get it.

  • Then cover the whole thing in a thin layer of frosting. This coat catches all the crumbs.

  • I am using mixture of the American buttercream and white chocolate ganache here and again

  • those recipes are all on the website.

  • Place that in the fridge and once the frosting has firmed up then we want to cover it in

  • another layer of frosting, take your time when you're putting this one on. Get the edges

  • as straight as you can, get the corners as crisp as you can.

  • When you put the fondant over the top it will reflect what you've done underneath.

  • Then place it back in the fridge to firm up. Now take some water on a pastry brush and

  • brush the cake, this just makes it a little bit damp so the fondant will stick to it.

  • Roll out your white fondant and then lift it up and drape it over the cake.

  • Pinch it in at the corners together and use scissors to trim off the excess and then rub

  • it with your finger. Now to get those tight edges you will need

  • to use a fondant smoother to smooth it out and also massage it towards the edges.

  • You can make the front of the ipad screen out of a printed icing sheet or out of fondant.

  • The printed icing sheets can be purchased online, they don't taste great even though

  • they say they are made out of icing they are not sweet. But they are good for apps that

  • have detailed logos. To make the fondant ones firstly we need to

  • make an app cutter. To do that decide how big your apps are going to be it is going

  • to be then take some aluminum flashing and fold it around something round like a pen

  • to make that rounded corner shape that all apps have. Repeat that with the next corner

  • each time lining it up with the distance you want the sides to be so they are all about

  • the same. Once you get back to the beginning trim the first side to about half the distance

  • and fold up the last side to overlap it. Trim it off and use some tape to hold it into place.

  • Now for your favorite apps you guys had so many requests we couldn't do all of them but

  • here is some of them starting at the bottom we have

  • DUMB WAYS TO DIE. To make this one roll out some background

  • colour. For all of your backgrounds use two skewers either side of your fondant and then

  • when your rolling it so that the rolling pin rests on them and you get a uniform thickness

  • for all of our buttons. Then cut it out using the cutter that we made. Then roll out a oval

  • of blue and squash it and using a little bit of water add it to the square. Trim off that

  • excess then take balls of orange really little ones and then roll them into tear drop shapes

  • and add them for fire hair. Dumb ways to die was a viral youtube video

  • made by Metro Trains in Australia promoting train safety. It was so popular that it has

  • its own game and various other things now as well and you can play the game and try

  • and survive all the different scenarios that are in the song.

  • Roll out a snake of white for the smile and then add two dots for the eyes using a food

  • safe marker.

  • CUT THE ROPE is a good fun little game that I like as well I printed this one on the edible

  • icing sheet and you can get the image that I printed it all from on the the how to cook

  • that website as well. I will put it up there for you.

  • PANDORA To make the logo print it out and cut out

  • the P shape making sure you keep that white part in the centre of the P.

  • Pandora is a music app where you can listen to music using wifi and create your own stations.

  • And it's free if you don't mind lots of adverts. If you want no ads then you'll need to pay

  • every month. Place it on some white fondant and with the

  • middle of the P in place as well. And then brush it with some powdered blue food colour

  • and a dry paint brush.

  • And then brush of any excess blue. Peel it off. And then place your cutter over the top

  • and cut it out.

  • Next on the printed on we've got WE HEART IT

  • This one is similar to pinterest but in my opinion to as good. What do you think?

  • Spotify is next it is similar to pandora where you can listen to songs in playlists for free

  • on wifi & make your own playlists. It seems to have less ads than pandora does and I think

  • it's got a bit of an easier to use interface. Once you've rolled and cut out the black cut

  • out a green circle using a piping tip and place it on top. Roll out a snake of black,

  • curve it and place it on. And then repeat that using two smaller and thinner snakes.

  • The next printed one we've got is GEOMETRY DASH I'd never played this game before, you

  • jump over shapes, it is really hard, but kind of addictive.

  • Then we've got skype Roll out two ovals out of blue, flatten them

  • and place them across each other. Then use a snake of white to add the S.

  • And then put the whole thing onto a white square.

  • HAY DAY is a game where you run a farm it is one of the top grossing apps of course

  • because it has inapp purchases.

  • Next we've got Retrica. Retrica lets you take photos with different

  • filters and different layouts so it's a bit of a fun photo app. Cut out a square of white

  • then add a strip of orange and put that on the top. Roll a ball of white and add it to

  • the top of that and then repeat that with a ball of black. Then add the four little

  • dots in the corner using your food grad marker.

  • Then we've got TEMPLE RUN this game has been around for quite a while now but you run and

  • you swipe to tun and swipe to jump and slide under things. It's quite a complicated logo

  • so it suits best the printed one.

  • Next we have POU In this game you have a little character who

  • you feed and you can play games with. If you feed him too much he'll get fat. If you have

  • push notifications on this one can get really annoying but if you turn them off it is a

  • pretty cut little game. Cut out your white square then roll a circle

  • of brown, squash it and pinch it to make it narrower at the top. Roll a tiny square of

  • white then cut it in half to get two even eyes and roll them into balls and add them

  • on top.

  • Then using a food safe marker draw on the black dots on his eyes and his little mouth.

  • Next we've got SUBWAY SURFERS we've played this one for a while now you just dodge trains

  • and collect coins pretty much the opposite of the message of the dumb ways to die one.

  • Next we've got whatsapp With whats app you use your smart phone to

  • send text messages, photos, videos and you do it all over the internet instead of using

  • sms. Cut out a green square and roll out a snake

  • of white. Then make a mini oval and trim it at the join

  • to leave a slight tail. To make the phone cut a short piece of white

  • and bend over each end then add that to the middle.

  • CLASH OF CLANS is next its a multiplayer game by the makers of hayday, you build defenses

  • and train troops and attack other players communities, it does have wizards and witches

  • in the game play so if you that bothers you choose another game.

  • Next we've got 2048 this is a game where you keep adding things together so you add two

  • twos to make 4, two fours to make 8, then 16, 32 and so on trying to get all the way

  • up to 2048 Cut the square out of the yellow and then

  • paint on 2048 using white food colouring.

  • Next we have SURPRISE CAKES this is my app so thanks for requesting that one. This allows

  • you to use gaming technology to bring your cake to life. We are currently working on

  • the next update for it which will have a whole new animation which a secret I can't tell

  • you what it is yet but be on the look out for that.

  • Next we have pinterest which allows you of course to pin things you find online to different

  • boards so you can easily find them again. On the ipad or iphone though it can get a

  • bit tricky because you don't have the 'pin it' button. But if you browse within the pinterest

  • app you can easily pin stuff from there. Cut out a square of white and then a circle of

  • red. Roll out a long snake of white and start out making a semicircle on the top half then

  • bring it in and up to the top then back down and trim it off at the edge of that circle.

  • Then use a skewer to help make any little adjustments to the shape to make it look right.

  • Lots of requests for a bible app, You Version one is one of the most popular ones and It

  • is one of the most functional it's got all different things that you can do in there.

  • Then CANDY CRUSH this is an old one now, if you like candy crush then you can check out

  • the candy crush cake that is on the channel.

  • WATTPAD This one lets you write a story. I'd never

  • heard of this one before but now I've checked it out it is quite interesting you write you

  • story and then other people can comment after each chapter and vote or share. So you are

  • getting feedback on what you are writing.

  • Next we've got piano tiles this is a simple but addictive free game where you have to

  • tap on the all black or colored tiles and avoid all the white ones as fast as you can.

  • To make the logo cut a square out of white and out of black and the cut each of those

  • into quarters. Use two from each to join them together to make the checkerboard look and

  • then just use a little water to join them together to make them stick.

  • Now the top 10 most requested apps. At number ten we have KIK which is a messaging app for

  • smart phones so that you can message instead of smsing

  • And we have at number 9 YOUTUBE* You should know how to use the YouTube app,

  • because you're watching youtube so I am not going to explain this one. Cut a square out

  • of red and then cut a rounded rectangle of white and add it on top. And then cut a tiny

  • triangle out of red and add that on top.

  • At number 8 we have KIM KARDASHIAN hollywood. I didn't like this game, I am really sorry

  • girls. But if you read the ratings on games they are there to help you make wise decisions

  • for yourself or your kids if you are the one controlling what they get it is rated 12+

  • for mature/suggestive themes, horror themes, violence, alcohol tobacco and drug references,

  • crude humour and mild sexual content and nudity. Lets go on to the next one.

  • Coming in at number 7 was Vine which is an app where you can post and watch 7 second

  • videos to share and just like youtube there are some are good and some rubbish ones.

  • Roll and cut out your background colour then roll a snake of white fondant. Starting at

  • the top corner there drape it down to make a v shape and then use a knife to make it

  • more pointed down at the bottom there. And then loop the end bit around to make a curve

  • and then trim it off.

  • At number 6 we have TWITTER and I assume you know this one, you can tweet short 140 character

  • text messages publicly or privately to a person who is following you.

  • Cut out a blue square and then a circle out of white. Make a cut like your making a pacman

  • and then round one corner of that.

  • On the opposite side make a cut following the line of where the body of the bird is.

  • And then trim off the wing section to make it smaller because it is way too big there.

  • Then slice it into three sections. Use your skewer to pull a little point for the beak

  • and then place it onto the blue

  • Lets pause our top ten count there to make the symbols that go down the bottom really

  • quickly. For sms cut out a circle of green and then

  • make a ball of white squash it and use your knife to shape the triangle part. Then add

  • it on top. For emails cut out a square of blue then a

  • small rectangle of white then indent the envelope shape into the white using your knife and

  • add it on top. For the safari symbol add a circle of blue

  • on top of a square of white. The roll some red really thinly and put that on top of some

  • white and cut out that compass needle part. Add that to the middle then make indents all

  • the way around the circle. For itunes cut out a red square and then use

  • a snake of white fondant to make the music shape note.

  • Back to our count, at number 5 most requested by you was the FACEBOOK app and I'll show

  • you tumblr at the same time because their logos are so similar. Tumblr actually came

  • in at number 11. Roll out some white, rub a little oil onto

  • it. Cut out the letters and place them onto the fondant, then dust with blue powdered

  • food coloring. Dust off any excess then remove the paper and cut them out using your square

  • cutter.

  • MINECRAFT There are so many youtube channels devoted to this game that I think it needs

  • no introduction, was at number 4.

  • Now at number 3 we have FLAPPY BIRD. Mix some green and blue and roll it out then

  • cut using a square cutter. Roll a small ball of yellow and flatten it. Then add and oval

  • of orange for the beak, and a white circle for the eye and a yellow wing. Then use a

  • marker to dot or draw on all those pixelated looking edges.

  • Flappy birds was a very popular app and it had more that 50M downloads. And then the

  • creator removed it from the app store saying that it was too addictive and he was getting

  • too much bad feedback. There were rumours that he had it taken off because of copyright

  • violations but apparently that is not true. It is now available again on amazon fire tv

  • but not in the app store.

  • Trim off any excess of that yellow and then add it to the square.

  • At number 2 most requested was SNAPCHAT. I can't believe that this number 2.

  • I don't use this one but basically you send a picture or video to someone and it deletes

  • within a few seconds of them opening it. In a UK survey 67% of snapchat users said they'd

  • received inappropriate pictures on snapchat. Roll out a square of yellow.

  • Make an oval of white, then flatten it out. Then use a straw to push it up on each side

  • of the base and in at the sides. Make two slices in the base and then place it on top

  • of the yellow. And then use your skewer to pull some fondant

  • from underneath to make the little arms.

  • Number one most popular which I like as well, YAY. Was instagram. You share your photos

  • or your little short videos and then you can follow other people whose feed you like as

  • well. You can follow howtocookthat on instagram I'll put a link below to all the different

  • social medias that I'm on if you haven't yet found those.

  • Use your cutter to cut a strip of brown and add it to the top of a white square then.

  • Roll a ball of white and squash that in the middle. then add a ball of black. Roll a snake

  • of yellow green red and blue. These need to be really tiny and add them to the top corner

  • and then trim them off.

  • To make the background of the iPad roll out some white fondant and then add paper towel

  • where the clouds are. Then sprinkle it with raw sugar and spray

  • it with some food colour spray. Making it darker at the top. I'm then adding some more

  • black food colour at the top too and blending it in with my finger, if you have black spray

  • that would be even better. Once it is dry brush off the sugar and you

  • can see all your stars left there. Roll a strip of blue and place it across the

  • bottom. Then roll out some white and place it around

  • the ipad, using some baking paper just to smooth out those joins.

  • Place the template over the top and trim it to the right size and then add circle indents.

  • Now add in all of your apps that we've made using a little bit of water to make them stick

  • and then use a ruler to line them up neatly.

  • To make your apple logo on the side of the box cut out a circle and push it up at the

  • base with something round like a straw and then down at the top with something straight.

  • Flatten out the lower sides on each side and then cut out the leaf shape. Brush that with

  • silver luster dust and then add it to the cake using a little bit of water.

  • To make the print out ipad roll out some white fondant to the right size. Rub the back of

  • the printout the backing side of the bench to loosen it

  • And then carefully peel off that backing. Place your icing onto the fondant and then

  • use the backing to rub the top of it to make it smooth.

  • Then trim it along the edges.

  • For both of these you can make the fondant really thick if you want to make it the right

  • thickness for your iPad. Or if you wan to make it taste really good you can make a backing

  • out of chocolate.

  • Just temper some chocolate and spread it out. Then add your iPad on top and once it is firm

  • trim up the edges using a knife.

  • Place some grey fondant into a fondant extruder and make a long strip, alternatively you could

  • roll out the grey and then use a ruler to cut the strip. Dampen the sides of your ipad

  • and add it all the way around the edge.

  • Add now your ipad is ready to add to the top of your cake and you can serve it up.
