I was so excited to have the opportunity to design another birthday cake. As a high school math teacher, I do not have too many opportunities to create artwork. I certainly had ideas in my head of how the cake would turn out- and of course it wasn't quite that way... but D. loved it and that's what mattered!
D. requested confetti cake and I chose to make the batter a swirl of green, blue, purple, and original. It was easy and fun.
Here is the marshmallow fondant I made- recipe can be found on my baker family cookbook blog...
The cake with the initial frosting so I could cover it in fondant.
The green fondant...
The visions in my head werent quite how this turned out. For one I was hoping for a taller cake but we arent really a cake-eating family so I couldnt justify more than one box of cake mix. The birthday boy was extremely excited about it so I guess it was a winner! For those who are unsure- that is supposed to be a waterfall on the cake! :) (ooo- and I learned I could get the Diego and Dora at Hy-Vee without having to buy their whole cake! I was pleased with this discovery!)
Brother and Sister with the cake.
Our family- clearly D. can't take his eyes off the cake!
We were so excited that Grandma and Grandpa could come visit us this weekend to celebrate (and to check out Pella's Tulip Time!)
Mmmm Good! Happy 3rd Birthday, again, D! :)
