If you’ve played the game Five Nights at Freddy’s, you’ll know that it takes place in a pizza parlor after hours. It’s dark in there, and it’s scary! It’s so scary that the first time I played it on my iPad, the iPad ended up being thrown across the room- from fright! I don’t recommend being as much of a chicken as I am when playing horror video games. “If you’re a chicken, why are you playing horror video games Jenn?” For research people, for research!!
When I first started my “research” for this cake, I watched a couple of YouTube videos of people playing the game, and thought it was rather silly. They were sitting in a dark room, playing a dark game, and getting the bejeezus scared out of them. WHY would you do that. I judged them, I really did.
Then I played the game myself- with the lights on.
First attempt . . . boring! I just kept the doors shut on either side of me in the room, and didn’t last a night. The whole point is to last five nights as the security guard at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. I had to google how to play the game, and then I was off. When I reached the second night, I was in my groove, checking the rooms (where the animatronic animals are), starting to feel a bit cocky, and then WHAM! Scary animal face in my screen and the next thing I know, I’m screaming like a little girl, and the iPad was flying across the room. Thank goodness for Otter Boxes.
I’m sure you were at the edge of your seat with my recollection of the first jump-scare that got me. Since I’m nice, and didn’t want iPads everywhere to go flying around living rooms, I decided to make the best part of the game (and least scary) into a cake.
Enjoy your pizza cake!
Five Nights at Freddy’s Pizza Cake
Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla cake batter (per pizza)
- Strawberry jam
- White chocolate chunk
- Black licorice nibs
- Sour apple slices
- Strawberry fruit leather
- Chocolate covered caramels
- White Sour belts
- Purple Mike ‘n Ike’s
- white pizza boxes
- Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza logo
- large sticker paper
- Preheat oven to 350F. In a 10″ round baking pan, bake cake for 20-25 minutes, or until edges are golden brown. Remove, and immediately place an 8″ cake pan on top of the hot cake. Fill the 8″ pan with heavy objects (there should be enough weight to press the pan into the cake below). Allow to cool for 20-30 minutes like this, and then remove as normal from the 10″ cake pan. Allow to cool completely.
- Cover indentation section of the cake with strawberry jam.
- Using a vegetable peeler or grater, grate the white chocolate for the “cheese” until there is enough to cover the top of the “pizza”.
- Cut the Mike ‘n Ike’s in half lengthwise for red onion pieces.
- Cut the black licorice into slices, and then remove the center using a tiny round circle cutter.
- Cut the apple slices in half for green peppers.
- Cut the fruit leather using a small round cutter.
- Place all toppings on to the pizza.
- Cut 1″ pieces of the white sour belt slices and place on to the cake for additional cheese pieces.
- Place the chocolate rounds on to the cake for mini meatballs.
- Attach the large sticker logo to the front of the box. Set pizza into a pizza box for display and serving.
OMG! I’M GOING TO MAKE THIS FOR MY SON’S 16TH BDAY COMING UP! Would I be able to pull this off using a red buttercream vs the strawberry jam? I would like for my son to want to eat his own cake. 🙂
Not that it wouldn’t be delicious with the jam, but my kids are picky especially when it comes to cake!
You can make it however you want to to suit your kids 🙂 Enjoy!
Thanks, Jenn! Thanks for your awesome tutorials! I’ve got my niece (who loves baking) and my 10yr old son hooked! Can’t wait to get started! So far I’ve made your zebra cake complete with your buttercream recipe. ☺ Never knew I had it in me. Thank you from San Antonio, Texas!
THANK YOU!!! Awesome job! =)
