Let’s Start With Constructing the Beer Can Cake!
Follow these simple steps to make beer can cake:
Step: 1 Build your platters or cake cases first. Three layers are typical for beer can desserts, with each layer slightly thinner than before. One 14-inch cake board, for instance, could be the base, followed by a 10-inch and an 8-inch board for the center and top tiers, respectively. Some might first do two 14-inch boards, then a 12- or 10-inch one.
Step: 2 If plain, cover your plate or carton with sturdy paper, colorful fabric, or metallic foil.
Step: 3 Get your beer cans. Cans and containers can be combined. 6-7 cans will fit inside a 9-inch circle. This will be a sizable base because a cake board or dish that measures 14 inches is quite wide. For instance, a 14-inch board can accommodate 20–23 bottles or cans.
Step: 4 After completing the bottom layer, wrap the beer in your fabric. Over the bottles in the bottom tier, place the next board.
Step: 5 This time, use fewer beer cans and leave a space between them and the cardboard’s edge. Put another thread around the cans in the second layer.
Step: 6 Add the last layer on top. This should fully cover the edges of the cans. The top tier is perfect for cans or bottles that were an odd height or didn’t fit the other items.
Here Comes the decoration of Your Beer Can Cake
Decorating your beer can cake is the main fun when you have constructed the main cake structure. Generally, it is up to you how you like to decorate it, but I have a few essential decoration tips.
Ribbons to Wrap the Lower Cake Tiers
Use different colors and sizes of ribbons to wrap the lower tiers of the beer can cake. Use the broader one at the bottom tier and keep changing the size as you move up. Also, use small ribbons to make ties and paste them with tape on the sides of the tiers.
Garlands to Cover the Cardboards
Wrap all the cardboard circles with beer cans with garlands to hide the edges and make them sleeker. Use the garlands in contrasting colors with ribbons and other decoration materials. Don’t use bulky ones, as they would hide the cans.
Toppings
This part of the decoration depends on the upcoming event. Why are you making this beer can cake? Add balloons or candles on the top if it’s a birthday party. If it’s a graduation party, try adding topping that your friends like. The same goes for other events. The kind of beer and topping depends upon the person you will give this masterpiece.
