Little Girl's Birthday Request!

Tip 104 was used to make the ruffle design using buttercream. The words, the flowers and the butterflies were made out of fondant. The birthday girl asked for a disney princess themed cake so I included candles to match the theme. I hope that she enjoyed her cake!

Minnie Mouse Themed Cake 

Baked for Cake4Kids 

I have been using the simple white cake recipe as my 'go to' recipe when I need thin two layers of cake that don't need to be torted. This 8" cake was filled and covered with butter cream and then finished off with fondant borders and decorations. The cake topper, 'Lil' Minnie was purchased at Party City.

I am so excited to be a volunteer with Cake4Kids! Baking for kids gives me so much pleasure; I get to spend time doing something that I love and at the end of the day the cakes bring smiles to the faces of many kids that would have otherwise not have a cake to celebrate important milestones.

Let's get to Baking!

The simple white cake recipe yielded two 8 inch cakes. At first I was concerned that the batter wouldn't divide between the two cake pans but the cake rose high enough and it was also quite even so there was no need to tort the cake. The layers were filled with Betty Crocker Chocolate frosting. The entire cake was then frosted and refrigerated so that the frosting can set.

The request was for a Mickey Mouse themed cake. Since it was for a very young child, I decided to use frosting as the final coating rather than fondant. Fondant was used though for the decorations. Red and black fondant were used to add the final details to the cake. And now it's time to deliver this cake to the birthday boy!
