I made this homemade Tinkerbell cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. The bottom was an 8″ round and the top was a 6″ round covered in butter cream icing. To make the icing smooth, I let it “crust” and then placed a Viva paper towel over the cake. I then took a fondant smoother and gently made circular motions till it came out smooth.
I made the flowers out of fondant and cut them out with a flower cookie cutter. To color the fondant I used coloring gels and just kneaded the color into the fondant (it’s best to use plastic gloves when coloring fondant or your hands get stained!). For the toadstools, I just shaped them out by hand. I put a Tinkerbell doll on top. It was a hit!

I was looking through this web site for cake ideas and I came across yours and I really
like it and I was wondering if you can send me your recipe for it because my baby who was
born premature and she doesn’t look like a
preemie anymore and I wanna make her 1st b-day special and I nicknamed her Tinkerbell since
she was born small. But anyways, I’m trying to
make her 1st birthday the most memorable
thing and all of her pictures is going into
her baby book and I was really wondering if
you can send me the recipe for everything including the directions. I really would
appreciate it if you can. Thank you so much.
Sorry to respond so late as I just got this comment. If it’s not too late I have the info for you. My daughter wanted a pink cake so I just used a strawberry cake mix from a box. The icing is 2 1/2 cups shortening, 10 cups powdered sugar, 5T water, 2 tsp vanilla extract – you can also add almond extract too, which is very yummy. Mix the shortening, water and extracts together and then slowly start to add you sugar. Mix until smooth. I used fondant for the mushrooms and played with it like Play Doh until it came out like I wanted. Let me know if that helps! Hope your daughters party is a hit!
your Tinkerbell cake is beautiful. I’m going to tried to make it for my grand daughter. I hope mind looks as good as yours.
