Casino Themed Rice Crispies Treats

Last year my family and I hosted a Casino theme birthday party for my grandpa. It included a lot of food and desserts. For the next couple blogs, I will be posting the different type of desserts we created. If you're thinking about hosting a casino themed party let us help you come up with the best treats for your guests. The first thing we're going to show you are these deck of cards inspired rice crispies treats:

 

What you'll need:

Rice Crispies Treats

White Candy Melts

 Red and Black Decorating Gel

Lollipop Sticks

Treat Bags

 

Directions:

First, take a couple of the white candy melts and place them in a microwave safe bowl and microwave until they are melted. Once they have melted, dip one side of the rice crispies treats into the chocolate. Once that side is covered in white, set it aside and do this to the rest of the treats until you have finished all of them. You can place them in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. When the chocolate is hard you can go ahead and decorate them with the gel pen. Finally, you can add the lollipop stick onto the rice crispies, and put them in little treat bags and you're finished.

 

These treats are perfect for your guests to take home if they don't want to eat them at that moment.

Jake the Pirate Cake

What you need:
Cake Mix
9 in. Round Cake Pan
12 in Round Cake Pan
Brown Sugar
Pastry Pride Whipped Topping
Blue Food Coloring
Yellow Fondant
Cake Toppers

How to:
First, I baked one 9 in. round cake and two 12 in. cakes and let them cool overnight.
The next day I took part of the whipped topping and added some blue food coloring and mixed it. On a separate bowl, I took the remaining of the whipped topping and added brown food coloring and mixed it together.
On the first 12 inch cake I covered it in blue frosting and then added the other 12 inch cake on top using lollipop sticks to hold it in place. Then covered the two cakes with blue frosting and added a small border around the bottom of the cake.
When that was complete I took the 9 inch pan and cut it in half. I took one half of it and placed it on top of the 12 inch cake and covered it with the brown frosting. I then placed the second half and placed it on top and covered it with brown frosting as well.
When the cakes were completely frosted I took some brown sugar and placed some on top and around the bottom cake. I then made some coins out of yellow fondant and placed them on top of the cake as well. Finally, I took the cake toppers and placed them as desired.
End Result:

Lion Cake

What you will need:
Round 9 inch cake pan
Yellow food coloring

How to:

Then, I outlined the face and the ears with Wilton Sparkle Gel in black, and drew the face.

Finally, I took the milk chocolate frosting and put it in a pastry bag and with a Wilton 22 tip I did the mane of the lion.

 

End result:

Minion Cake and Cupcakes

 

 

What you will need:

• Two boxes of cake (Any flavor. I used Betty Crocker Super Moist cake in German Chocolate and Vanilla)
• 6x2 in. Cake pan
• White Cake Icing ( I used Betty Crocker Cake Icing)
• Wilton Sparkle Gel in black
• Ice Cream Cone
• Fondant in red,black, and white ( I used Duff Goldman buttercream fondant)
• Black cupcake liners
• Cupcake Pan
• Twinkies
• White Frosting ( I used Betty Crocker whipped fluffy white frosting)
• Lollipop sticks
• Candle
• Wilton sprinkles in purple
• Powdered sugar
• Spatula
• A couple bowls to mix different color frosting
• Food coloring in yellow, blue, and copper
• Small cup
• Toothpicks
 

 

Minion Cake:

First I baked 3 round cakes in a 6x2 in. cake pan ( 2 vanilla and 1 german chocolate) by following the directions on the box. The only thing I changed is the amount of eggs, instead of 3 eggs for each box I only put 2 egss per box.

 



Then I cut the tops of the two bottom cakes so that they would be flat when I stacked them on top of each other.

 

 

Then I put a small amount of yellow food coloring on a small amount of frosting and mixed it to get yellow frosting. I got the vanilla round cake that had been cut on top and added a layer of yellow frosting to the top and put 4 lollipop sticks before I added the second round cake.

I did the same thing to the next layer until I had all three layers stacked on top of each other. Once all three had been stacked, I covered the entire cake with yellow frosting.

 Once I finished layering the cake with frosting I started making the party hat. I took the ice cream cone and covered it with red fondant. I also mixed a small amound of yellow food coloring with white fondant and made small round circles to be used a polka dots and a big yellow ball for the top of the hat.





 

To make the eyes I took some black fondant and cut 2 circles with a cup. Then with white fondant I took a small cup and cut 2 more circles. I then took a small amount of copper food coloring and dyed white fondant to make 2 small dots, and then took some more black fondant and made 2 smaller dots and put them together with a little bit of frosting so they would stick.

 To make the overalls I took some white fondant and added some blue food coloring and then I just covered the bottom of the body with blue.  I also took a small ball of blue fondant and used it as the legs. I cut 2 strips for the straps of the overalls. To make the hair I took a couple toothpicks and covered them in black fondant. I also took a small strip of black fondant to make the mouth. To make the tongue I just took a piece of red fondant and stuck it to the top of the mouth. For buttons I just took 2 round circles of black fondant and stuck them to the straps of the overalls. I made 2 balls of black fondant and used them as shoes and then some more for the hands. For the arms, I took some yellow fondant and rolled it. Then I made 2 longs strips of black fondant to hold the goggles together. And this was my end result.

 

Minion Cupcakes:

 

Since I had some leftover german chocolate mix from the cake I decided to make 5 cupcakes to add to the cake.

 

First I baked the cupcakes with black liners in the cupcake pan, and let them cool.

I then covered 1 cupcake with white frosting and the rest with blue frosting.

To make the body of the Minions I took two twinkies and cut them in half. I drew some eyes and mouth with the Betty Crocker white cake icing and the Wilton sparkle gel in black.





 Using one lollipop stick per cupcake I added the twinkies on top of each blue cupcake. On the cupcake with white frosting I used purple spinkles and added a candle.
