Camouflage Cake

While most people think of Camouflage cake as a military style pattern, a hunting camouflage pattern may be the perfect pattern for a woodsman. Snow, sand and winter camouflage patterns can also be used to create cakes in every season.

Camo Cake Ideas

Hunter Camo

Hunter camouflage patterns use tree trunks, leaves and branches. By cutting leaf stencils, you can create forest patterns on top of a green or brown iced cake. Sugar sprinkles and colored sugar provide a wide range of color and textures. Place edible or plastic animals including deer, bear or turkeys on an iced cake with fondant-leaved trees. Duck blinds created from iced graham crackers might sit next to an icing pond with fondant cattails.

Camouflaged Cupcakes

Camouflaged cupcakes provide a wide variety of choices since each one can be slightly different. Using blue camouflage icing, then place a parachute soldier on top. If you use sand-colored patterns then park toy military vehicles on top of each. Brown and tan-colored icing provides the perfect background for animals, blue patterns for birds, and green for insects.

Use cupcakes on top of sheet cakes to provide the forms of duck blinds, park ranger stations and natural formations like caves, hills and waterfalls. Sheet cakes decorated with cupcakes provide lots of room for the inclusion of streams, small boats, animals, birds and figures.

Winter Camouflage

Winter or snow camouflage cake allows you to use rock candy and edible glitters to create frozen wonderlands. Snowshoes, ski’s and igloos made from sugar cubes are just a few ideas of how you can turn a winter camouflage pattern into an edible delight. Cut and shape cupcakes into natural snowdrifts where polar bears and penguins can hide.
