Breaking Bad Cake Recipe – Let’s Cook!

Make your very own custom Breaking Bad birthday cake for the Heisenberg fan in your life!

Let’s face it, birthday cakes can be boring when homemade, but even those novice bakers who can’t compete with the contestants on Cake Wars can make a pretty cool Breaking Bad birthday cake.

All you’ll need is:

1 box of white cake mix
2 cans of whipped white frosting
Blue sugar/sprinkles
Blue food coloring
Blue and Black cake writer gel (to draw Heisenberg and write)
Blue Jolly Ranchers

First, make your cake. I choose to use two round cake pans. You can make a flat cake if you want as well. When I made mine I used a box of basic white cake mix then I put a couple drops of food coloring in the mix and swirled it around. This will create blue swirls in your cake when baked. Don’t mix it completely or your mix will turn blue.

After cakes cool, place one cake layer on your cake plate or whatever platform you are using. After completely cool, frost the top, making sure to leave an even platform for the top layer. But make SURE before you frost that you wait until the cake is cool, this is important or the frosting, and the top layer, will slide off!

Sprinkle blue sugar, or sprinkles, on top of frosting, then place top cake layer on.

After you have the top cake layer on, complete frosting the cake. After you’re done, sprinkle blue sugar on the sides of the cake (very top pic).

With your black cake writing gel, draw Heisenberg’s police sketch. You can Google for a pic, or you can use the one I drew on my cake.

Write things like “Let’s Cook!” or “Happy Birthday!” Using the periodic table of elements like they do on Breaking Bad.

Finally, take blue Jolly Ranchers and crush them and spread them along the top edges of your cake, or wherever you like. (Sorry, my cake is missing the Jolly Ranchers in the photos.)

Voila! A cake that Heisenberg would be proud of! The Breaking Bad fan in your life will LOVE this, my husband did!
