Raspberry Pi Zero edible paper template To celebrate the birthday of the Raspberry Pi in 2018?, we had Raspberry Pi Zero tray cakes.
You can make these cakes yourself, providing you have a printer that can print edible icing paper with edible ink. If you don't have a printer, perhaps you can find someone who can print the template out for you.
Depending on your preference, you can make a traditional Victoria sponge cake or a lighter blow-away cake.
Preparing the Raspberry Pi Zero cake toppers [ edit | edit source ] Make sure an adult helps you with cutting the Raspberry Pi Zero edible paper.
Print the Raspberry Pi Zero edible paper template onto an A4 sheet of edible rice paper.
Cut the Raspberry Pi Zeros out individually using a pair of scissors, a knife or a paper guillotine.
Set aside for later when you are icing the cakes. Each Raspberry Pi Zero is 65 mm by 30mm. Blow-away cake (angel food cake) is a light sponge that is low in fat. This is because of the air that is introduced into the mixture as it is whisked.

Preheat the oven to 200°C (375°F or Gas Mark 5).
Crack the eggs, separate the yolks and then add the whites to the mixing bowl.
Whisk the egg whites and then add the yolks, one at a time and beat them in too.
Sift the flour and then add the sugar slowly, keep beating until a mixture is formed.
Grease the cake tray then pour the batter into it. Cook for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Cut the cakes into equal pieces about the same size as the Raspberry Pi Zero (6.5cm by 3cm (or about 2.5in by 1in.))
Remove the cake from the trays and cool on the cooling rack. This is a traditional Victoria sponge recipe which has a denser texture.
