Character Cakes . . . Charlie Brown
Easy instructions for making character cakes such as this Charlie Brown cake:(Note: This is one of those cakes that was made many years ago, so I am sorry for the poor picture quality.)
Bake a sheet cake the size that you need. With an icing filled bag and round tip, size #5, draw Charlie Brown on the top of the cake.
Cut away the cake from the Charlie Brown shape.
Make a flesh colored icing and using star tip, size #18, cover the face, hand, arm and legs. To make the flesh color icing use a very small amount of orange and red paste or gel food coloring. Add these colors in very small amounts until you have a light flesh color.
