If your character suits star shaped piping patter then that is one way to go, otherwise try using the tin as a mold firstly to bake the cake and then to mold chocolate.  For this you can use candy melts or colour white chocolate.  When colouring chocolate you need to use oil based food colouring (available from cake decorating stores).  Water based food colours and gel food colours can seize your chocolate.  If you are using real chocolate that contains cocoa butter don&#8217;t forget to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/temper-chocolate\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">temper it<\/a>.  If you are using compound chocolate you can skip the tempering step.<\/p>\n<h4>Island Cake<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that.jpg\" alt=\"island cake jello cake how to cook that \" width=\"518\" height=\"388\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-118754\" data-wp-pid=\"118754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that.jpg 518w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the jelly (Jell-O) use gelatine sheets because they set clearer.

Add food colouring if you desire. Cool to room temperature, but do not wait until it is thick.  If it is set too thick take a big spoonful out and microwave it in a seperate bowl to warm it.  Stir this warmed ganache back into your main bowl of ganache to thin it down.  Repeat as necessary.<\/p>\n<p>For and 8&#8243; round cake you will need 1 1\/2 cups of ganache and toppings of your choice.  <\/p><\/div>\n \n<h4 align=center>My Cookbook<\/h4>\n<p align=center>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cook-crazy-sweet-creations-cookbook-ann-reardon\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"40%\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/hardcover-book-mockup-of-a-woman-reading-3409-el1.png\" alt=\"ann reardon crazy sweet creations cookbook\" title=\"Crazy Sweet Creations Cookbook\" style=\"opacity: 0.8; -moz-opacity: 0.8;\" class=\"fade\" \/><\/a>\n<\/br>\nStores that sell my book listed by country:  \n<a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/ARcookbook<\/a>\n<\/br>\nAll recipe quantities in the book are in grams, ounces and cups.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/cake-rescue-shaped-cake-tins-tsunami-cake-island-cake\/\"><img width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that-150x150.jpg?wsr\" class=\"alignleft tfe wp-post-image\" alt=\"island cake jello cake how to cook that\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/isalnd-cake-ann-reardon-how-to-cook-that-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" data-wp-pid=\"118754\" \/><\/a><p>&nbsp; After a year of working on it I am finally ready to announce my cookbook, it goes to the printers this week and will be available very soon.
