Homemade Minnie Mouse Birthday Cake

This Minnie Mouse Birthday Cake was a birthday cake I did for a friend’s daughter. Each tier has 2 layers of cake with buttercream filling. I used a buttercream recipe from Wilton that is amazing and people always love.

The Minnie Mouse hat on top is made from sculpting rice krispie treats, head and ears are made separately, then covered them in black fondant. I used toothpicks to connect the ears. The other decorations, such as the mouse outlines and dots, are made by rolling fondant and cutting them out with tiny cutters found in fondant section of Michaels and using dab of icing to glue them on.

I made her bow the same way but curling each piece and making the center and letting it stand on its side for a while to dry out. I made the cakes and let them set up in the fridge while making the other decorations and it came out great.

I got the idea by looking online and seeing what I liked from different things and then drawing up a plan of my own.
