Ok… so… that was a terrible attempt at a joke… or something…
Anyhow, Wendy at work asked if I could make her daughter’s birthday cake. She wanted a Minnie Mouse cake and I knew exactly what I wanted to make!
I wanted to put together a sort of deconstructed Minnie cake. That sounds… more morbid than it really is haha.
It was actually really adorable.
For my black fondant this time, I added a bunch of cocoa powder before adding any food color… and guess what?! I was told it was actually edible!!
I even did a tiny little “smash cake” for the birthday girl.
It’s really all so cute I can hardly stand it.
I seriously love making birthday cakes for kids!

You’ll have to excuse the lack of tutorials maybe for a week or two. I’m still trying to piece my life back together.
This is one of the coolest cakes I’ve ever put together. I was super proud of it. My friend’s son was turning 4 (which is INSANE) and wanted a Nightmare Before Christmas theme.
I think I did them proud…
Jacks’ face was hand drawn with edible markers and the skulls were cast in white chocolate! Yum!
Everyone loved it and the birthday boy was happy… success!

I made this awesome bulldozer birthday cake for a little guy named Atreyu’s 2nd birthday. The cake was chocolate filled with cookies and cream buttercream frosting and covered in fondant. I made the wheels out of cookies and all the dirt was cookie and cake crumbs.
Super cute!
