Hawaiian Minion Birthday Cake

I was requested to make a Minion cake for a friend’s daughter and was put to the challenge of making it look like a Minion from Hawaii. This is the result I came up with.

I used two 15 cm. round cakes and cut them both into three layers, filling them with a vanilla cream and strawberry jam.
On top I put a cake baked in a 15 cm. diameter bowl. I sliced this one into three layers as well, also filling it up with the vanilla cream and strawberry jam.
Before stacking the cakes up, I put a thin wooden pin (a chopstick from Chinese Take Out) in the bottom cake, that runs all the way up to the top cake to keep it stable and centered.
Once the cakes where stacked, I put on a layer of butter cream frosting and covered the cakes with a yellow fondant.
For decorations I used basic fondant cutters for the leaves at the bottom (skirt) and flowers on top (hair).
The goggles I made out of white fondant and added a bit of Tylose to harden it and painted it with an edible silver paint.
The coconut bra was made out of a Styrofoam ball of approximately 7 cm., cut in half and covered in brown fondant. I put a few toothpicks in it so that it would hold its place.

The birthday girl was very happy with this beautiful cake.
