I've been wanting to try a Bigfoot bundt cake ever since I got the cookie cutter. I actually got the cutter just for this project. HERE is a link to the recipe and instructions, although I didn't use their recipe. I just skimmed the instructions, got the gist, and winged it.
Mistake #1 was the size of the cutter. It was too tall for the bundt pan.
Mistake #2 was that I didn't want to make chocolate cake. I made brownies instead. I was only able to get 6 Sasquatches from the pan.
Placing them in the pan was a bit of a pain, to keep them from tipping over as you added the cake batter. I even put batter in the bottom and stuck their heads in and they still wanted to fall over.
Sadly, all the legs melted and broke off within minutes of going in the oven. That's probably why I should've used cake instead of brownies.
Well at least it flipped out easily.
The icing is just confectioners sugar mixed with milk and vanilla extract.
First slice, total failure. Delicious, but a failure.
But then....TA DA! I finally got a slice with the design, even if the legs were gone.
This is another one that I'm glad I tried, but won't be revisiting. Bigfoot will be in cookie form from now on, and bundt cake will be bundt cake, and never the twain shall meet.
You really like Bigfoot don't you JoJo? At least the cake kind of worked. I avoid stuff like that as I would eat more than I should and Matt isn't really interested.
ReplyDeleteRussell helped me eat it! And yes, I do love Sasquatch. I have been fascinated by it since 3rd grade.
DeleteNothing delicious is a failure!
ReplyDeleteLove the idea. Keep trying, JoJo!
Thanks Dawn!
DeleteI love it JoJo! What a great idea! And hey, half of 'ol Sas is better than none. I KNOW you'll perfect this cake. Looks delicious too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen!!!!! It was definitely delicious! But I doubt I'll do it again. I'd need to buy a smaller cookie cutter.
DeleteHey JoJo,
ReplyDeleteBigfoot bundt cake, despite any mishaps, looks enormously yummy. I must make some Sasquatch shortbread, eh! LOL

It was sooooo good.
DeleteWell done! I bet it tasted lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anne! It was quite good. If it wasn't so much work I'd do it again.
DeleteIt looks good to me! Not to mention delicious too. I'd label it a success :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Elsie! It was a delicious failure for sure.
DeleteI have never seen such a project!!! What fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrea! It was time consuming but fun! Wish his legs hadn't broken off.
DeleteOver from Karen's blog. She did a very nice post about you today.
ReplyDeleteI took a piece of this cake to have with my coffee this morning. Thank you.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ☺
Thank you so much Sandee! I appreciate your visit!
DeleteEven if it didn't turn out the way you thought it would - it was still a worthwhile try. Now you know. I could go for a piece of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! It was definitely tasty.
