TUTORIAL Adidas ZX Flux Sneaker Cake

[@natashagreen-chillaxedprod7769]

New subscriber from Finley, New South Wales, Australia 🇦🇺 Love your creations. Never seen this kind of thing turned into a cake before. You must be a hit with all the sports teams where you are for end of seasons and wins ceremonies

[@backorphine9808]

Haha great idea with the sports teams - thank you so much for your compliment!

[@wev3860]

Thank you for this tutorial 😊.. I was able to make a sneaker cake for my brother’s birthday . I followed your suggestion to make a template from a real shoe, I used the puma classic black and white.. actually this is the second tutorial that I followed from you, the first one was the orchid plant in a pot I made for my mom’s 74th birthday... thank you so much for sharing your talent 😊😊

Hi, amazing cake and tutorial, thank you. Did you use a madeira cake recipe?

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you very much! Uff me made the cake four years ago but I think it was a nut cake. You can use any cake you like, as long as it's firm enough to build a 3D cake =)

[@yvonnepunkt5439]

Wow really good 👏🏼 Could you tell me where to get this shoetemplate?

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you so much! We just used a real sneaker to create the template. Unfortunately there is no download to it.

[@yvonnepunkt5439]

@@backorphine9808 Ok thank you ☀️😊

[@blessingjoseph8267]

Nice one

[@helenafreckleton275]

Hi there, this is amazing, so realistic!!! Must have taken forever very impressive! Can I ask was that a chocolate buttercream or modelling chocolate you used to crumb coat before putting the fondant on? x

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you so much!! It took approximately 25 hours to finish the cake =) We used ganache to cover it, before we put the fondant on.

[@greekgoddess0314]

Amazing! What is that mini saw blade with the yellow handles called that you used to cut the fondant? 😍

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you very much. It's called an x-acto knife =)

[@greekgoddess0314]

Even the mini saw type instrument is made by x-acto? (I'm referring to the tool that first appears bottom left around the 3:57 mark.) That would be so helpful for me in so many ways!

[@backorphine9808]

greekgoddess0314 You mean the one I used to cut the fondant in minute 4:11?! Unfortunately we don't know the name nor the brand of the tool 🤔

[@backorphine9808]

greekgoddess0314 My husband did a little research for you. You can find the tool if you look for "Polyform Sculpey Super Slicer". I hope that helps 👍😊

[@greekgoddess0314]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for going out your way to find it for me. It helps a lot. 😊

[@sylviascakes1847]

[@backorphine9808]

+Sophia Wiid Thank you so much!! Maybe you find a talanted friend who wants to give this cake a try for your birthday ;)

[@sophia-wf7lr]

+Backorphine that's ok I will try to find someone lol 👍

[@monicaalvarez6440]

It is really, good. How did you get the stencil or print for the Adidas logo. How long did it take you?

[@backorphine9808]

Monica Alvarez Thank you very much. I formed the logo by hand. I printed it out (you can still see it lying on the table) and put a piece of parchment paper on top. That way you can see the logo through the paper and just form the logo with the fondant. For the letters it's best to use an extruder for the thin lines. It took me approximately 1 hour to get it exactly like I wanted it to be.

[@allychin1]

Thank You so much!! I can't even find words to tell how good this is!!!

[@backorphine9808]

Oh wow. We appreciate it. Thank you so much!

[@vanessaluna6447]

Beautiful cake! Did you make your own fondant? If so, what kind did you use? Thank you.

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you very much! Happy to hear that you like our cake. We bought the fondant. We once tried to make our own fondant and it ended up in a mess ;)

[@azerazert2501]

ses magnifique

[@sarahandemmalemoignan9449]

That looks fantastic 😃 may I ask what the fillings were? Looked scrumptious.

[@backorphine9808]

+Sarah Le Moignan Thank you Sarah! We used cowberries and a chocolate mousse as the filling :)

[@kimberlynadeau1159]

did you put the cake in the fridge before cutting and shaping it each time? Amazing! I am going to attempt to make a sneaker cake for my sons second birthday this weekend... I would love to know any techniques you have in terms of shaping the cake! You guys are incredible!!

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you so much Kimberly! It does help indeed a little cooling the cake after stacking and before cutting. It will feel more firm and you will be able to cut and carve more precisely. When icing the cake, start with a crumb coat (very thin layer of soft ganache to contain all crumbs), pop it back into the fridge for a couple of minutes before applying the next layer of ganache. This also prevents the cake and its filling from becoming too warm. When cutting/carving, go slow. Look at your cake from all sides and compare to your original or photo. Wishing you a successful cake! Wed be happy to see the result :)

[@samanthacedillo4883]

where you got those cool shoes

[@backorphine9808]

Well the shoes we make you can only get out of the oven ;D If you are not interested in our cake you should find adidas sneaker online.

[@JetstreamAviation747]

What do you do with the bits of cake you cut off?

[@backorphine9808]

You can use them to make cake pops or eat them straight away =)

[@BossHBaffoe]

This cake looks awesome! Quick question.. what size tray/pan did you guys bake the cake in please?

[@backorphine9808]

+H MB Thank you so much. The baking sheet was 42cm x 35cm. Hope that help!

[@irenemason3830]

Can I ask where you got your extruder from? Im based here in Perth WA and all the ones I have purchased do not work

[@backorphine9808]

Hey Irene, I think we bought it online (here in Germany). We actually do have two different ones. The most important thing is, that the fondant is very soft.

[@anayolandabarralesaguilar3475]

hello, this excellent your tutorial, but a question as I get the templates to make it

[@backorphine9808]

Thank you so much! Unfortunately we don't have the time to make a template to download. I'll let you know as soon as it is online. But in the mean time just grab a normal sneaker and make the template yourself.

[@juqettalawson4354]

HI, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW DID YOU MAKE THE ADIDAS LOGO OR YOU PURCHASE IT IF SO CAN YOU LET ME KNOW WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED FROM THANK YOU!!

[@backorphine9808]

Hi, we made the logo by ourselves. I'd recommend to print out a template from the internet to have the proportions right. Hope that helps =)

[@dalisjones2901]

amazing! how many hours did you spend making this cake? or how many day in advance?

[@backorphine9808]

It took approximately 25 hours. We prepared the shoe box in advance cause we used a dummie and the actual cake we started two days in advance.

[@backorphine9808]

Hey Lindsay. Unfortunately I don't have the packaging anymore, but if you look online for "craft gun" you should find it. We do have a second one which is called "makin's clay extruder". Hope that helps.

[@valentinapellicano6661]

Come hai realizzato lo stampo dell adidas sulla scarpa?

[@backorphine9808]

Hey Valentina, do you mean the adidas emblem or the template for the shape of the shoe?

[@valentinapellicano6661]

@@backorphine9808 I mean the emblem on the shoe the little orange one, is it ice that you put with a stencil?

[@backorphine9808]

@@valentinapellicano6661 I printed the emblem on a paper to have the right size. Than I rolled out orange fondant, put the paper on top and traced the outlines with a pencil. Remove the paper and you can see the small lines on the fondant. Than cut it out by hand. If the fondant ist to soft, just pop it in the fridge for a short while. To transfer it onto the cake you need a transparent bakingsheet and some palmin. The palmin let's the fondant stick to the baking sheet so the parts won't move. I hope that helps 😊

[@sharyncritch5698]

Do you use fondant or gum paste pls

[@backorphine9808]

Hello Sharyn, we used fondant.

[@lor_ena6943]

For how many servings is this cake?

[@backorphine9808]

How did you make the adidas motif to transfer onto the cake?

redprincess36 We used a piece of parchment paper and a bit of vegetable fat (Palmin or Crisco) so the fondant would stick to the paper and you can easily transfer it onto your cake.
