Just a quick stop by to show off Big Little Miss M's birthday cake I made for her party this Saturday.... remember I told you how I had gained my inpiration from the teapot cake?
Well, here's my version of something similar... Big Little loved it (but I have a sneaking suspicion allthree four year olds love cake regardless of the shape it comes in!)
It took me three baking attempts to get the ball cake right (first wouldn't come out of the pan - last time I follow the directions on greasing tins... butter and flour all the way!... second one didn't rise enough to be ball shaped and looked more like a flying saucer) BUT I am glad I persisted (I was NOT going to be baking a fourth cake!)
So, what do you think... I'm pretty happy with it and now I have almost a year before our birthdays all strike again!
***You can find the recipe I like to use for both the buttercream and the marshmallow fondant in THIS POST***
Cheers & see you all soon with a refashion or two ☺

Wow that is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love the lace on the cake!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen... was pretty easy to create the lace look! Just used a paper doily and some food dye on the rolled out fondant and then used a scalpel cutter to cut the edges and lay over! Glad you liked it - might have to do a more detailed tute on this one down the track! ☺ @Jenn
ReplyDeleteThanks Cami! I love making and decorating their cakes! The spout and handle were made with Marshmallow Fondant which I inserted toothpicks into before letting them harden so I could attach them into the cake @cami
ReplyDeleteIt has an ideal shape and looks fabulous
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this cake! Now I'm way older than 4, but I'd be thrilled to have that for my birthday.
ReplyDeleteWow that cake is so amazing! I admire your perseverance with making it too! Would totally have something like that on my birthday party table, hee hee!
ReplyDeleteJust found you through Lamb Around and so glad I did. Your cake is simply beautiful. I too have 'dabbled' with cake design (but not recently) so I really appreciate all the work you've put into this!

AMAZING!! WOW!!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS!!! You did a beautiful job -- I probably would have given up after the second failed attempt! Glad you persisted!
ReplyDeleteIt's really looking one of amazing designed cake. The conception about teapot cake is really looking with full of creativity. It's really looking one of exotic designed cake for me. I am really impressed. Thanks for sharing.
