It's sad that I look at this and think "Cool, Mom". |
Her fourth birthday was celebrated at school, and I made a poorly documented Rainbow Leprechaun Trap cake. Her classmates loved it, since there was a story behind it and, of course, a leprechaun trapped inside under the gold coins. How cute! For her fifth, the Princess Castle cake, which I think was the pinnacle of my cake making days. For her sixth, a store bought pink cake that I tarted up with fondant flowers and a fondant Hello Kitty! And, for this birthday, the shell cake.
Please notice the shell chair she's sitting on. Thank goodness I'm a teacher and have gallon bottles of glue and glitter coming out my ears! |
I followed this tutorial closely, just adding the mermaid detail, and crafting the top shell out of Rice Krispie treats instead of another cake on cardboard. The mermaid was a doll from Tootie Pie's collection, who just happened to have pink hair; I removed her legs with a hot knife (she was hard plastic), and added a fondant tail. To the cake dish I added brown sugar "sand" and pink and white chocolate shells to complete the look. Each guest got Rice Krispie treats, cake, and chocolate. Sugar fest!

Her fourth birthday I made a rainbow leprechaun surprise cake. The sign was to trap the leprechaun inside with a promise of gold. Her classmates were intrigued by the premise. |
A shot of the inside rainbow. And a goofball. |
This was probably the greatest of all my cakes, for her fifth birthday. |
Six was a Hello Kitty theme. |
