Busch Beer Can Cake

This beer can cake was a very fun cake to make for my dad's 50th birthday. I stacked four 6 in chocolate rounds on top of each other and used a dowel rod for support. I first iced it with white buttercream icing.

Then I actually painted on the design. I used an actual beer can for reference. I thinned down my icing with a little milk and used a paint brush that I use just for cakes and painted all the designs on myself.

Then I made some modeling chocolate out of candy melts and corn syrup and formed the rim around the top and the tab. I hope you enjoy the cake!

Divider

I placed a divider in the middle...it also helped with support. So when you cut through the first two layers it stopped allowing for a pretty normal sized serving.

Did you use a stencil to make the design?

I was wondering if you used a stencil to decorate the busch cake or did you do it free hand?
