If you haven&#8217;t heard of Hatchimals yet, where have you been? Probably the same blissfully ignorant place I was until I was told about them by a friend with a young daughter. Hatchimals are the most popular toy for Christmas 2016. I hope you&#8217;ve got one already because if you don&#8217;t, you&#8217;re likely out of luck as they&#8217;re sold out everywhere! Good thing I&#8217;ve got this tutorial for you in case you can&#8217;t find one! Maybe the kids won&#8217;t notice . . .<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LbGpZwl730c\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Subscribe to Cupcakes and Cardio on <a title=\"Subscribe \" href=\"http:\/\/goo.gl\/tuamEz6\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a> for weekly cake tutorials and more!<\/p>\n<p>Order my COOKBOOK <a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?page_id=7366\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Seriously, these toys are too cute! I was totally creeped out at first when we opened the box and it made it&#8217;s first noise, but it kind of grows on you! The hatching process takes a while (like 20-25 minutes) and though I knew this ahead of time, I was still impatient! Once it finally starts pecking though, it gets a little bit more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4004site.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8871\" title=\"hatchimals cake\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4004site-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"draggle hatchimal cake \" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4004site-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4004site-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4004site.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When planning to make a cake, I knew it had to have a hatching element to it, since it is after all named &#8220;Hatch&#8221;imal! I had an egg cake pan on hand from a project I didn&#8217;t end up doing last Easter and it worked perfectly for this cake. If you don&#8217;t have the pan, you can carve the cake out of rounds. What I like about using a molded pan for projects whenever I can is that there is less waste of product. Sometimes you can&#8217;t get around that though.<\/p>\n<p>As far as baking the cake goes, there aren&#8217;t any tricks I&#8217;ve hidden. One thing to note though is the baking time in the cake molds was around 70 minutes. I filled the pans 90% full as I wanted to make sure to get a rounded egg.You can always trim the extra off.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4047site.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8859\" title=\"hatchimals cake\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4047site-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"spinmaster toys hatchimal cake\" width=\"601\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4047site-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4047site-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4047site.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 601px) 100vw, 601px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>How to Make a Hatchimals Cake<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Ingredients and Materials:<br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/XaNELscDtms\" target=\"_blank\">Prepared Vanilla cake batter<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/rjqOTM5icOE\" target=\"_blank\">Vanilla buttercream coloured purple and white<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2eDhQFY\" target=\"_blank\">Black fondant<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2faQsB2\" target=\"_blank\">Turquoise Blue Fondant<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2f6Tlj0\" target=\"_blank\">White Fondant<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2g311HC\" target=\"_blank\">Purple Fondant<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2faT4Pn\" target=\"_blank\">Egg Cake Pan<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2g2WBhv\" target=\"_blank\">Regal Purple Americolor Gel Paste <\/a><br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gpN0VP\" target=\"_blank\">White Americolor Coloring<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2f6S5N1\" target=\"_blank\">Oval Cutters<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2f6Yyat\" target=\"_blank\">Fondant\/Gum Paste Decorating Tool Kit<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gpI2sr\" target=\"_blank\">Fondant Smoother<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2gpEV3I\" target=\"_blank\">Hatchimals Draggle<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2g1X6r6\" target=\"_blank\">Purple Candy Melts<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2fb3kXN\" target=\"_blank\">Navy blue candy melts<\/a> <br \/>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/wPEwF2HS15Y\" target=\"_blank\">Rice Krispie treats\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8872\" title=\"hatchimals cake \" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"hatchimals toy cake \" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq-60x60.jpg 60w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/DSC_4049sq.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Bake vanilla cake batter colored purple in the egg cake pan. Allow to cool completely before levelling and icing.<\/li>\n<li>Cover middle of egg with buttercream and press halves together. Place into the freezer to solidify completely (or until icing is solid).<\/li>\n<li>Once frozen, cut top off of the egg in a jagged design (or follow lines from cake pan). Carve a recessed area on the top of the larger portion of egg, leaving a 1\/4&#8243; thickness of cake along the jagged edges and going to a depth of about 1\/2&#8243;.<\/li>\n<li>Cover that area with purple buttercream, and the rest of the cake (both portions) in white buttercream.<\/li>\n<li>Splatter paint the egg with thinned candy melts and a paint brush. I used coconut oil to thin the chocolate.<\/li>\n<li>Roll 141 grams of rice krispie treats into a ball and cover in purple fondant, leaving a &#8220;skirt&#8221; around the bottom for the neck. Using a small pair of scissors, make tiny snips in the fondant to give the appearance of fur\/feathers.<\/li>\n<li>Roll out white, blue and black fondant thinly and using the oval cutters, cut out the sections of the eye. White with the largest, then blue then black. Finish with a tiny piece of white for the highlight in the eye. Attach to the head of the hatchimal with water.<\/li>\n<li>To make the beak, roll out a small piece of blue fondant and carefully shape into a beak using the fondant tools and your fingers. Attach to the head of the hatchimal with a toothpick and water.<\/li>\n<li>To make the draggles spiny back, roll out a piece of blue fondant into a thin cylinder. Gently pinch away at the fondant to form spikes. Attach to the cake with water and toothpicks as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Place Hatchimal head inside the recessed area of the cake. Place cake pieces onto a prepared cake board.<\/li>\n<li>Cake is best consumed within 2-3 days and should be kept in the fridge until ready to be cut and eaten.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=8855\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=8855\" data-text=\"How to Make a Hatchimals Cake\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=8855\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D8855&amp;linkname=How%20to%20Make%20a%20Hatchimals%20Cake\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today I&#8217;m showing you how to make a Hatchimals Cake!
