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.

What do you need to make a geode cake?

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.
