Giant EOS Lip Balm Cake
I must admit when the requests started flooding in for ‘EOS’ I had to google it to find out what it was. Lip Balm! That’s right, EOS lip balm is cute little spheres of lip goodness that twist open and close perfectly. They are not easy to get your hands on in Australia, hence why I hadn’t seen them in the shops. But I ordered a couple, and because I like all things cute and admire well packaged products, I decided to turn it into a cake – a giant EOS cake. Oh and the top is filled with candy!
For the giant EOS cake you will need:
2 quantities of my perfect sponge cake recipe baked in a pyrex bowl. The one I have is 23cm (9.06 inches) across the top and holds 3.5L (0.92 gallons), to make it correct proportionately it should have been slightly bigger, or the dome should have been smaller. I didn’t want to go out and purchase a new bowl for this but if you are buying bowls just for this use my EOS cake template
as a sizing guide.For between the layers:
Strawberry filling
250g (8.82 ounces) or approx 1 2/3 cups fresh strawberries washed, hulled and quartered
200g (7.05 ounces) or 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp strawberry jam/conserve/jelly. Come on people, we need a universal name for this stuff you spread on toast!
Heat the jam until it bubbles then add in the strawberries. Mix for 30 seconds then remove from the heat and let it cool completely. Drain off the excess syrup – you can use this as simple syrup on the cake layers.
White Chocolate Ganache
380g (13.4 ounces) white chocolate
230millilitres (7.78 fluid ounces) cream
Break the chocolate into pieces and place into a bowl. Heat the cream until it just starts to boil and pour over the white chocolate. Leave to sit for a minute then stir until there are no lumps. Leave overnight to firm up at room temperature. Note: if you put it in the fridge it will solidify.
Buttercream
One quantity of buttercream in the flavor of your choice – buttercream recipes here
For the EOS Dome
730g (25.75 ounces) compound white chocolate
1kg (2.2 pounds) mixed lollies / candy / lots of EOS lip balms
hemisphere tin (mine is 21cm (8.27 inches) across the base) and acetate for around the edges
Fondant
2kg (4.41 pounds) pink fondant (or the colour you want your EOS to be)
Other Things
A strong cake board, I used a 50cm (19.69 inches) x 45cm (17.72 inches) piece of mdf (medium density fibreboard or timber board)
Glossy wrapping paper to cover the board.

im trying to make this
I am having 16 girls (including me) at my birthday party. I would really like to make one of these for my party so I was wondering how many does this cake feed.
Hi Gabi, Happy Birthday, It will serve 16 generous serves, 20 small serves. If anyone wants to make it for larger numbers you could make the lid as a cake too.
can you make a cake of a baby lips
Hi Ann I don’t suppose you are familiar with dr oetker if so do you know if liquid glucose is the same as glucose syrup
Hi Harry, they are very similar, liquid glucose is a bit thinner but in most recipes they can be swapped of the same amount.
Hi Harry, It is the same product.
Hi Ann,
I live in the US,and am wondering if I can use baking chocolate (white or otherwise) for ganache? Thanks
Hi Rachel, Yes, you can use compound or real chocolate for ganache. If you use real chocolate that contains cocoa butter (check the ingredients) it has a lower melting point. That means it melts in your mouth quicker , giving a nicer mouthfeel and taste.
Hi Ann can you do an edible cookie dough recipe? Only if you can
Hi Cadburylover101, yes you’ll find my recipe here in the cookie dough ice cream https://www.howtocookthat.net/public_html/best-homemade-icecream-recipes/

Hi Ann, Fantastic cake! My daughter loves these lip balms and her birthday is next month. If I can reduce the bowl sizes- do you think I could work with half the quantities – I really don’t need such a large cake!!! Thanks.
Hi Kath,
If you want to make one that is half the recipe quantities, you will need a bowl that is half the volume, so approx 1.75L bowl.
All the Best!
LOVE IT!! Thank you Ann!
thanks Janis
