What is a geode cake?

First of all, we need to explain what a geode is. Geodes are rock structures with minerals and crystals inside. They are very durable and, needless to say, very beautiful. Which is exactly why people love the idea of a geode so much. The mixture of colors, the imperfect shapes and shine make them perfect for DIY recreation. Especially when it comes to cakes. Geode cakes are truly a piece of art. And the best part is, because in reality geodes don’t have a perfect shape and no two are the same, they can be recreated even if you are not a professional baker.

How to make a geode cake – recipe?

In reality, geode cakes are not that difficult to make on your own. Just follow this super simple and easy step by step DIY tutorial and you will be amazed at how easy it is.

What do you need to make a geode cake?

  • frosted cake
  • clear rock candy
  • gel food coloring
  • a bit of vodka

If you are making the cake yourself, once it is assembled, cover it with a crumb coat. Then, cut a triangle on one side of the cake and cover the exposed part with frosting. Let it chill for a few minutes then add a second layer and smooth it out.

How to assemble the geode cake?

Start assembling the geode by pressing the rock candy to the cut part of the cake. You can do this in any way you want. As we already mentioned geodes are not perfect in shape and no two are alike so you have a lot of freedom.

Add the rock candy to the trimmed area

Next, you need to color the rock candy. Mix the gel food coloring with a few drops of vodka and, using a paintbrush, start painting the center of the rock candy area. In order to achieve the darker to lighter effect, dilute the gel food coloring in more vodka as you go towards the edge.

Leave the rock candy around the edge uncolored and finish off with a border of edible gold paint around the rock candy.

Finish off with a beautiful edible gold paint or gold leaves
