Homemade Ballerina Birthday Cake

Homemade Ballerina Birthday Cake

I wanted something different for my little girl's 2nd birthday. So I thought I'd try molding something. This ballerina is the first time I've ever molded a figure and I was pretty happy with the outcome. I was looking for simplicity but cute too. I saw this Ballerina Birthday Cake on Flicker and thought it was a good idea.

I made a chocolate cake with a Nutella and chocolate filling. I was nervous it wouldn't turn out okay. The little ballerina is made out of fondant, I think I'll try modeling chocolate the next time I mold something.

I made the doll out of fondant. I just sculpted her by hand. To make the ruffly part of the dress I bought a cutter and rolled over the edges like when you make flower petals. I layered them on top of each other around the body and put balls of plastic wrap in between to create the lifts in the dress. (i made sure to rub shortening on the ball of plastic wrap so as not to stick).

I did the doll the day before, the body, the head and the legs all separately. The day of I assembled her.

Sorry, the filling was of nutella (melted) and spread over the layer, I sprinkled some toffee bits on the nutella and then layered chocolate pudding on top of this. It was good. The buttercream I used was the italian meringue buttercream, so it's not too sweet.
So cute!
