How to Make an iPhone Cake

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Prepare 2 rectangular package cakes that can be easily form-fitted to fit with round corners.

   If you'd like to make the black iPhone, you'll still need to make a white package cake.
   
   As long as you don't use an "Angel Food Cake Mix" mix, you can use whatever style of cake you'd like, whether that be chocolate or vanilla or whatever flavoring. ,, Set the leveler so that cake can become nice and level in the end.,, This can become a pattern for the cake to know where you'll need to cut to "trim off" some of the cake and to provide other uses later.
   
   Make this "pattern" big enough so that you can provide some "button-like pieces" later.,,, Make sure the fondant is measured out to be a bit bigger on all of the cakes sides, otherwise you'll lose that special "iPhone effect" that the cake must desire.
   
   If you've ever seen a real iPhone, you'll know that the sides are always solid and the edges always end up forming a nice round edge.,,,,,, Make sure not to forget the "Call" and "Messaging" and "AppStore" apps, so make sure to create those apps first.
   
   Be sure to follow the sample cut out of the iPhone you used earlier, to understand what these buttons look like.  , For a real iPhone effect, make sure not to exceed 4 apps across and to place no more than 4 "apps" on the bottom of the "screen".
