Things You Need to Make Among Us Cake
Creating among us birthday cake is not a difficult task. You just need the right supplies and ingredients. Here is a list of things you will need to make an among us cake.
Baked Cake
Before creating a birthday cake, ensure you have baked, cooled, and ready-to-frost cake. You can use any flavor, but I recommend chocolate or vanilla because these are classic flavors and go well with almost everything.
Buttercream
For among us cake, you need a lot of buttercream because you have to cover the entire cake. I recommend using a recipe with all butter because it tastes better than the ones made with shortening.
Fondant
You will need black, white, and red fondant to make among us cake. If you do not want to use fondant then you can use black, white, and red buttercream.
Cake Topper
I would recommend using an among us cake topper to make things easier. You can find them online or at any party store.
Stencils or Toothpicks
If you can easily find an among us stencil, it will make your job much easier. But if you cannot find one, you can use toothpicks to create the characters on the cake. This way is a bit time-consuming but it will get the job done.
How to Make Among Us Cake
You have everything. Now it’s time to make an among us cake. Follow the step-by-step guide below to make your own among us cake.
Make Batches of Buttercream in Different Colors
There are different characters in the among us game, and creating all of them with one color buttercream will not look good. There are over 9 characters in the game.
That’s why you have to make batches of buttercream in different colors. You can use any color combination but I recommend using black, white, grey, pink, purple and red.
Fill the Buttercream in Cake and Create Layers
So the next thing is to do a filling of chocolate or vanilla cake with buttercream. Once you have done that, create layers of cake using different colors of buttercream.
You can use a piping bag to pipe the buttercream on the cake or a spatula to spread it evenly. But make sure to do it properly and smoothly.
Create Characters Using Stencils or Toothpicks
Now it’s time to create among us characters on the cake. If you have stencils then use them to create the characters. But if you do not have stencils, use toothpicks to create the characters.
This way is a bit time-consuming but it will get the job done. Also, make sure you use different colors of buttercream for different characters.
Use White Confetti
The white sprinkles on your black colored cake will look like stars and it will make your cake more attractive.
Add the Finishing Touches
Your among us cake is ready. All you need to do is enjoy it with your friends and family. Cut it into slices with a sharp knife and serve it with a dollop of buttercream.
You can also use fondant to decorate your cake. But I would recommend using buttercream because it tastes better.

Yes, you can make this in advance! It’s a good idea to make it ahead of time so you can get plenty of time to create the perfect birthday cake.
The cake will last around 4-5 days. If you want to keep it for longer than that, you can freeze it.
Yes, you can freeze cake but wrap it well or cut it into slices so it freezes evenly. When ready to eat it, let it thaw overnight in the fridge and then enjoy.
