Cowgirl Pony Cake

Cowgirl Pony Cake

I made this Pony cake for my daughter's 6th birthday party. She loves horses and so we did a cowgirl theme. I tried to match the colors of the cake details to the decorations. My husband contributed by making me a template which I then traced onto the cake. I have extra large cookie sheets that make perfectly flat cake.

I used two 18x13 cookie sheets for this cake (one boxed cake mix for each sheet pan). After the cake cooled, I then used the templates and positioned on the cake board. For height I made this a double layer. I even had a small amount of scraps left after cutting the shape.

I frosted the cake (two tubs of reg store bought) and added detail with fondant. The fondant is best when you want a smooth look. It was awesome and my daughter loved it! I think after all the time was added it took me a little over 4 hours to complete.

Did you make the tail out of cake also or did you just use frosting? Also, what type of store bought icing did you use? Thanks!!

The tail is cake with fondant over it, then I took thin strips to make the mane look 3 dimensional. The store bought frosting was either Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker, then a layer of fondant over it for a smoother look

What a great job on your cake! Very impressive! my daughter will be turning 4 & she is obsessed with horses. What kind of activities or theme/decorations did you use? I'm a little lost! Thanks.

I purchased the fondant at a local craft store. I believe you can buy it in a 2lb box. The template was made using plain white paper.

As for games ideas, we did pin the horn on the unicorn for a girly theme, we did a craft with a horse themed idea and we played bingo. By the time the party was over we had not even gotten to all the games and things I had planned. It was a great day!

I understand that it is two leavers but was the cake two halves pushed together.

It was not to halves..the tail was the only thing I had to make separately. I used a large oversized cookie sheet to make the cake flat and long.....
