What Are These Mouth-Watering iCarly Fat Cakes?
iCarly fat cakes (also referred to as iToe fat cakes) are popular sweet treats that frequently made an appearance on the show. However, they only shot to fame when Sam became obsessed with them – and for a good reason!
These cloudy pink balls are made with delicious cream-filled chocolate cake. Then, they are covered with a gooey marshmallow coating and dusted with pink desiccated coconut.
The cakes themselves are simple in concept, but they take some time to make. However, I highly recommend still trying them. These fat cakes have an incredibly soft gooey texture and chocolatey sweet flavor. They will bring out your inner child!
Elements Needed To Make These Pink Cakes
As I have mentioned, you make these fat cakes with chocolate cake and a cream filling. They are then garnished with a marshmallow coating and colored desiccated coconut. None of these elements are hard to make individually. But they do take some time.
For the chocolate cupcakes, I chose a super easy and basic recipe. The cupcakes won’t come out too moist but also not dry. That is important because very moist cupcakes won’t allow the marshmallow coating to stick to their surface.
Then, we also have an easy cream filling. You make it using marshmallow fluff as the base. But that is only because I wanted to cut down on some unnecessary time. And this filling is a lot more shelf-stable than an actual dairy-based frosting.
Finally, we have the melted marshmallow coating. You have to add simple syrup to the recipe. Otherwise, the marshmallows won’t be workable.
Tips And Tricks For Sam’s Fat Cakes From iCarly
- When making the marshmallow coating, you will need to be patient when melting the marshmallows. But, you cannot overheat the marshmallows because they will start to burn.
- You also have to stir the melting marshmallows a lot. This will ensure that the heat is evenly distributed. It also will prevent the mixture from burning in one area while another doesn’t melt at all. You can make this super easy simple syrup recipe if you don’t want to buy some.
- If you don’t have a silicone mold, don’t worry. I have another easy method you can use. Fill a bowl with the coconut. Then, add a big dollop of marshmallow coating inside it. Push in the cupcake, cover it with more coating, and finally, toss it in coconut. It is a messier method, but it works!

In real life, fat cakes aren’t illegal – at least not from my research. In the show, fans assume that Canadian fat cakes are illegal in America because of the type of fat they use. However, this is all fiction and I couldn’t find any evidence to show that fat cakes are illegal anywhere.
