I made something!
A friend of a friend ..... needed a cake made for her daughter's fourth birthday. I came up with a few ideas, trying to keep them uncomplicated. She opted for the more traditional nine inch round cake with decorations. I thought it would be simple enough, but it always ends up taking me way longer than I anticipate. I wish I could go to a professional cake decorating class by Debbie Brown or Rebecca Sutterby so I could learn some techniques like how to get things to stay glued on. I could never be a cake decorator -my time to money ratio is kind of ridiculous. But here it is. Monkey Pants now wants a Tinkerbell cake for her next birthday too, of course. I need to wake up early tomorrow to make sure she's not eating the mushrooms off of it. (It's happened before).

That's wonderful! How did you make the mushrooms and are the flowers and decor fondant?
ReplyDeleteWell, now I'm ruined. My little girl saw this cake & is begging for it for her birthday. It's darling! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteOkay this cake is the most amazing decorating I've ever seen... I too spend hours upon hours making sure my kids have the perfect cake... and this year my little girl wants tinkerbell... it looks quite time consuming!
ReplyDeleteThat is quite fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI found yours while searching for ideas for mine. Yours was the only one that I clicked on to get a better view of.
Beautiful cake! My friend's daughter just asked if I would make her a Tinkerbell cake for her birthday, so I'm browsing around to get ideas. This is one of the best ones I've seen. Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cake! I've just started working with fondant because I plan to make my sister's wedding cake for her - but I don't think I could do anything like this! good thing I have a couple years to get ready :P
ReplyDeleteAll of your cakes ar wonderful. My sister is the crafty one in the family & I rely on her each birthday. Do you know where you got the Tinkerbell & Silvermist from?
ReplyDeleteYour cakes are all fabulous!!! Where did you get the Tinkerbell & Silvermist?
ReplyDeleteThank you. I got the Tinkerbell in a package with all the fairies at the Disney Store at the mall. (The Tinkerbells I found at Walmart or other stores were cheaper quality with acrylic hair or clothes which I think looks kind of tacky on a cake and not quite food safe. I wanted the Tinkerbell to be all plastic).
ReplyDeleteLove it! My friend's daughter has asked for Tinkerbell this year and knowing her, it will be a small party. Your design is simple looking (although I know the time you put into it says otherwise, lol) and small enough to work. Thanks for the inspiration and beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteYou are gifted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING
W-O-W
ReplyDeleteHi! how did you learn to make this cake? is there in any book?
ReplyDeletethankss
That's gorgeous! I love the flower - you made that too? I make cookies and cupcakes for others and my time to money ratio is also pretty sad. I usually end up working for $3-4 an hour by the time I finish!
ReplyDeleteMy daughter saw this cake and now she is wanting it. Are all of the decorations made of fondant. Did you have to buy a lot of products to create the decorations?
ReplyDeleteI made this cake for my daughters 1st birthday today and it was a hit! Thanks for the photos....although mine wasn't as beautiful as yours but it turned out pretty good, man it was time consuming!
ReplyDeleteHello I would like to know please how did you make the leaves?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot,
Stefanie
P.S: If anyone knows please help me
Ive printed out a picture of this cake and am going to take it to my cake lady. It's perfect for my daughters 2nd birthday! You did a amazing job! I could never do this myself.
