Making and decorating this Minnie Mouse cake for my granddaughter's 5th birthday party was what I did for my Friday night entertainment. :)I was pleased with the outcome -- especially since I didn't have a MM cake pan! Can you believe that the pan cost $70? I told my DIL not to buy it that I could use a pic from the internet and transfer it to the cake, and . . . it worked!
The bottom cake was chocolate fudge and Minnie was confetti. It weighted a "ton" but no wonder , you're looking at 4 cake mixes minus what I cut away to shape Minnie!
Last year I made a Cinderella cake for her party. Poor Cinderella looked as if she had been over sprayed at the tanning salon and desperately needed a nose job! It's a wonder I was asked to make Minnie this year :)
See for yourself.
Pitiful isn't she?
This cake was for B's 4th Birthday.
3rd birthday was Strawberry Shortcake
This was a homemade strawberry cake - yum!
2nd birthday - Care Bear (Rainbow Bear)

1st Birthday
B was in love with ducks back then and the color
"yellyo"
The duck was a lemon pound cake and the "bathtub" was orange cake.
This little cake was for her to "dig" into and she certainly did!She had a princess crown as her party hat so I put a crown on the cake.
This cake was a white cake.
I didn't intend for this post to be the cake hall of fame but its fun to reminisce sometimes isn't it?
Have a restful evening.

WOW! You are so talented! I can't believe that you made such a beautiful MM with no pan! (That's crazy that the pan costs $70!)
What a special treat for your granddaughter to have you make her cake for her birthday celebration! Hope it's a great one!

Oh, Beth! If you could see me do them, you would know I'm not a pro -- not even close!
But thank you for saying it anyway!:)
