Homemade Mickey Mouse 3 Tier Cake
I made this Mickey Mouse 3 Tier Cake for my son's third birthday party. He loves Micky Mouse.
I baked two tiers in round pans and the third (Mickey hat) was baked in a small round Pyrex bowl. I crumb coated all in buttercream icing and then covered in fondant. All of the shapes were cut from fondant using cookie cutters or fondant cutters. The Mickey shapes were just made from different size circle shapes.
I piped my son's name on the Mickey shape on the second tier with buttercream icing. The border was made using colored gum balls. The Mickey ears for the hat are also made from fondant I let dry so it was hard enough to stand up. I cut small slits in to the hat cake and inserted the ears and used tooth picks to give it more support. I also piped black buttercream icing on the back of the ears to hide the toothpicks and give extra support.
To make the cake shiny I painted a thin layer of water over the entire cake with a food safe brush. The stars on the top were just candles I found at Walmart.
This cake was one of the easier and faster I have made. Everyone at the party was really impressed and thought I spent a lot of time on it. My son also loved it.
