After having 3 boys, I was so surprised to find out I was pregnant with my 4th child. Even more to find out it was a girl! We were so excited, and I’d finally get to indulge my love for Fairies and Tinkerbell. This first birthday cake for my baby girl was a lot of … Read more
Since I have four boys…I never pass up the opportunity to make a girlie cake for my wonderful niece! This fairy world cake was her 5th birthday cake. Since she liked Tinkerbell at the time, we went with a “fairy world” themed cake. It is a two tier round cake, with the top tier set … Read more
A school friend of mine, asked me to make a “Real Tinkerbell”’ cake for her daughter’s 3rd Birthday! REAL, meaning the girl did not want any fake fairies or dolls (who are not Tinkerbell) on her cake, she wanted a fairy that looked exactly like the Real Tinkerbell! I tried finding a plastic figurine, but this being … Read more
“Fairies and pirates, pixie dust and buried treasures… how do I capture that in a cake?” That was all I could think of in my jet lagged, exhausted head. My daughter’s 4th birthday party was 3 days away, and I had just landed after a 24h flight, and was devising a strategy on how to prepare … Read more
This Tinkerbell cake is a medium oval plus a small oval chocolate cake, split with strawberry jam on top, and the “tree” is half of a chocolate cake roll (cheated-store bought!). Iced with butter cream and royal, I’m not crazy about fondant. The path to the fairy door is candy rocks and fondany pebbles, grass etc. butter cream. I found … Read more
I made this Tinkerbell birthday cake using rice Krispies. I sculpted it to my liking and then made the icing coat. I then made marshmallow fondant and had fun making all the different colors. I then applied the fondant according to the most common colors needed for Tinkerbell. I cut out leaves for her dress and it turned out … Read more
This Tinkerbell cake was donated to an organization called Birthday Dreams. I bought a Tinkerbell doll to put on it. Then I saw that it was for a two year old. Not a good toy for a 2yr. old. So, I rolled out fondant and traced a picture of Tinkerbell, then colored her in with … Read more
I made this Snow Fairy Birthday Cake for my grand daughter’s 4th birthday. The base is a 14×16 cake pan. The skirt is the Wilton doll pan. I used a a stick doll for the body. The frosting is a white butter cream. I made the the cape by hand. And sprinkled the whole cake … Read more
The idea of this Flying Fairy Cake Design started with a generic graphic of a pink fairy with a wand on my daughter’s invitation. My original plans were to make a dress for a doll using marshmallow fondant and then attach wings. After the dress dried I’d set her on a sheet cake and decorated … Read more
Each year my daughter challenges me by coming up with a creative theme for her birthday cake. This year it was Barbie Mariposa and Wilton doesn’t make a pan for this one! I originally thought I would make the stand up doll cake, but her one request was that the entire Mariposa be edible. The … Read more
My daughter wanted a Tinkerbell cake for her 4th birthday. I found the figure at Hallmark; the mushrooms are meringue cookies that I piped; I used a hair tip for the grass. I baked the cake in a Pyrex casserole dish to get the “hill”. She loved it. :).
This Cookie Stealing Fairy Cake was my final for my cake decorating class. Not exactly how I pictured it in my head, but I did get an A. I had issues with the kneeling fairy as I made her (at 2am!). This was only the 2nd time I had worked with fondant, so I guess … Read more
