The request was for just Minnie Mouse's face. And bow. And in pink.
I went through all of my options for getting the face on the cake. It had to be done right. Because there are a LOT of great Minnie Mouse cakes out there, and there are a lot of not-so-great ones as well.
In the end, I decided to go old school with the Wilton star piping technique. You know, the first one cake decorators learn? Or at least it was for me. In fact, the first cake I ever decorated was a Mickey Mouse cake...using the star tip. I was 9 years old.
Anyway...four layers of delicious chocolate cake filled and frosted with vanilla buttercream...
Ms. Minnie, adorned with a gumpaste bow, is ready for her close up...
Layers and layers and layers of buttercream ruffles...
And a gumpaste mouse silhouette to tie it all together.
This was probably the most fun, least stressful cake I've worked on in a long time.
It was simple. And just a joy to put it all together!
