Let them eat cake!!!

Hooray! I finished the bday cake for a friend's little girl's party.

It all started last year when Michael did the 1 year photos for this family. One of the props we used was a simply decorated, 6"- 2 layer cake with a #1 on top. The little girl got to tear into the cake while MB took pictures. I made the cake, and the parents loved it so much that they came this year to ask if I would do the party cake for their daughter's 2nd bday.

I have never made a big (larger than a 9"-3 layer, or 13x9 sheet) cake, but, I love a challenge, so, I accepted.

The party theme is Tinkerbell...and here is my cake. It's simple, but, I really love it. I hope they feel the same way. The base is a cardboard thing I picked up at Michael's. They don't have to use it, but I wanted to give the option.


The layers are yellow butter cake. The top is a 9" - 2 layer, and the bottom is a 12" - 2 layer. The cake is iced in buttercream, and the flowers are fondant. Tinkerbell is a little doll I picked up at the store.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Juliet!
