::Minnie Mouse Cake:: and a little tutorial

Isn't Minnie Mouse just every little girls favourite at one time or another?

Little Keicia turns 2 today

and she loves Minnie Mouse!

When I delivered the cake this morning her face just lit up after seeing Minnie!

When I was asked by Keicia's Mom to do a Minnie Mouse cake

i quickly googled to find the best looking Minnie!

And I found this one from Kelly of Crafty Confections!

I asked her how she did it, and she was kind enough to share how she did

her Minnie Mouse!

So i thought i would take a few pictures

of the process:

I hope that it could help someone in the future!

Take a look!

First i baked a 24cm by 30cm cake

Then i drew 2 templates of Minnies Face

Then i cut out one of the templates so that i had two parts.

The ears and the face.

After that i cut out the cake according to the other template.

Then i frosted everything with buttercream icing

Coloured my fondant the desired colours.

I did the pink border by measuring the height and then

rolled out and cut from the fondant.

Then i placed the black fondant over and trimmed the edges.

Then using the template of the face i cut that out.

Then i rolled out some flesh coloured fondant and cut out the face part.

I placed that where it belonged and smoothed the seams.

Then just decorated the rest of the face so that it looked like Minnie!

Let me know if you want some more details!

{Inspired by Hello Naomi} Pretty Pink 21st Birthday cake

When I saw this cake a on the ::Imprintables:: blog, i was

in awe!

It is from Hello Naomi and she is one extraordinary cake decorater...

So my friend turns 21 today,

and we had a little lunch with her yesterday...

And for her birthday gift, I made her my version of this beautiful cake...

Now, I know I am not even half as good as Hello Naomi, but

I am always trying!

It was a teeny tiny 15cm cake

and my flowers are a bit big, but

the idea was there...

Beatrice! I hope you had an awesome birthday!

Happy 21st and many more!
