I thought this week I would show you a birthday cake I did for a little girl turning two years old. Her mother wanted it to look very girly. So I thought polka dots! What I did was a two tier cake covered in white fondant. Then I wanted to add color to it. I took bright pink and turquoise fondant and made different sized polka dots with them. I applied them with Royal Icing, so that they would for sure not move. Something I thought would be fun to do is add fondant balls to the bottom of the cake, and where the two tiers meet. So I made white, turquoise and pink balls. I did them in different sizes so that it would match with the polka dots and add some depth to the cake. Another fun element that I added to the cake was the topper. I took some craft paper and spelled her name out and then placed each letter on a succor stick. I also had the sticks going in a zigzag line to add even more depth to the cake.
The mother the loved the cake! It is exactly what she wanted for her little girl. The little girl also loved it. When she saw it she said it reminded her of Mickey Mouse. I was so excited that they liked the cake! It is always a relief when they say it exactly what they wanted.
