The good thing about baking an alien cake is that you get a lot of creative license to make the cake look however you want. Green tentacles, bulging eyes and other creepy features are likely to enter your mind when you think about aliens, so get creative and use those in your cake design. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Alien Head Cake
Make a cake that is shaped like an alien head. Aliens depicted in books and movies commonly have heads that are wide at the top and come to a point at the chin. Use a round cake to create the alien head. After the cake has baked and cooled, use a serrated knife to shape it into a point at the chin. Frost the cake with green icing, and use black frosting to create large, oblong eyes on the cake. If you want the cake to look extra creepy, place gummy worms on the cake to make it look like they are coming out of the alien's head.
Eyes
When bulging eyes come to mind when you think about aliens, use that as an inspiration for your cake. Bake a cake in the size and shape of your choice, and frost it in a color that coordinates with the rest of your party decor. Go to a local candy shop, and look for candies that look like eyeballs. If you can find different shapes and sizes, use those. Place the eyeballs all over the cake so that it looks like alien eyes are covering the cake.
Alien Body
Consider making a cake that looks like an alien's body. Use two square cakes to create the alien's body. Cut one of the square cakes into a triangular shape and place it onto the cake platter as the alien's head. Place the second square cake just below the head to serve as the alien's body. Frost the two sections with green frosting. Pipe alien features onto the cake, such as eyes and a mouth. Use licorice ropes to create the alien's legs and arms.
