One Direction Cake with Logo on the inside
After being inundated with comments on my YouTube channel from One Direction fans, I finally relented and designed a cake with the 1D logo on top and as well as inside.
For your One Direction cake you will need:
* 2 packets vanilla cake baked in a 16x24cm (9.45 inches) tin
* 1 packet red velvet cake
* cream cheese frosting – click to open recipe in new window (or you can use the frostings that came with packet cakes)
* italian meringue frosting – click to open recipe in new window (or you can cover in white fondant)
*red fondant (there is a post on fondant basics here)
One Direction Cake Cutting and Assembly Instructions

You are basically going to make the cake on its side, layering it up and then flip it the right way up onto a cake platter. Print out the overall cutting and layout guide above and then watch the video below for step by step instructions.
One Direction Cake Decoration
Once you have made the inside you can either cover the cake in white fondant or in italian meringue frosting, one of my favorite frostings. To make the logo on top print out the 1D logo in a size that fits on your cake, cut it out and use that as a template to cut out your red fondant. Here is a link to their logo in various sizes, one direction cake logo template, I used the middle size. Add to the top of your cake and you are ready for the party.

Hi Ann!
I followed each direction and made the cakes but I think they got a little more fluffy than necessary, so, I had a lot of trouble setting the cake, and as soon as I finished, while starting to cover it with the icing, Puf! everything came down! I catched it with my hands on the air, it didn´t touch the floor so we had coffee & broken cake for four days or so. But my nine year old girl didn´t get to see her dream cake come true. =(
oh no rachel that sound so sad 🙁
PLEASE MAKE A JB JUSTIN BIEBER LOGO DESSERT
I wanted to show the inside as well, quite fiddly but was worth it, my daughter was thrilled, so thank you again!:)
Great job carol 😀
Hi, thank you so much for these instructions, I made this 1D cake for my daughter’s 12th Birthday on the 1st December and she loved it!
Hi, I made this recently for my daughter celebrating her 12th birthday, it was a great hit and thank you very much for the brilliant step by step instructions. 🙂

Hello, i loved thistutorial thank you so much!
I was just wondering how ro reduce the size of the cake?
Like should i just bake 1 box of vanilla cake and half of the red velvet?
Thank you <3
Hi daniela, this cake would be very difficult to make in a smaller size
Love this cake- I am going to make it this week and just wondered how long you baked the red velvet cake and the white cake for at what temp.
Thank you!
hi laura, I baked them until a skewer inserted into the centre came out clean. Sorry i can’t remember the times
I want to make this so bad for my birthday! I am a huge Directioner and I have a tradition of baking my own cake every year…looks intimidating since I’m seriously bad with a knife! Any more tips on cutting those rounds for the D? If you know what I’m talking about…thank you!!
Thank you! Mine doesn’t look as nice as yours but the instructions are excellent and I have a very, very happy 10 year old!!
wonderful to hear happy birthday to your 10 year old
Would this be possible on a 13″x9″ pan or a square pan?
Hi Alyce yes if you use the 13″x9″ pan it is the same proportions as the 16cmx22cm pan just bigger. You will obviously need to increase the amount of cake mixture accordingly (the pan is nearly double the volume).
Awsome
woow kool
Sorry the i is capital in my name
I already started making Italian meringue frosting but I don’t have cream of tartar. Is there a replacement for it, can I leave it out, or do I really really need it? Thanks sooooo much! I love your website and it has helped me learn so very much, my cousin will absolutely LOVE this cake!!
hi Claire, you can leave the cream of tartar out if you don’t have it.
I wanted to make this cake but instead of the 1D logo I wanted to make the number 5 inside the cake. I figure it is similiar to the 1D but just have to tweak it a little. Any suggestions? Please help?
Hi anita, It would be easiest to do a five in the font like on a calculator http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQG8JhAh5yBKHTYT3ZP7KLBF-fdZH-qC8LaC76Y55KUnquenofS_w Start by drawing a picture of the cake on its side and work out what sized pieces of cake you will need to cut. Think of it in five layers with the top and bottom one being plain vanilla cake
Genius!
Thanks for the cake
Nice job
