Since I am so bad at updating this blog, several years actually elapsed between posts, so this post covers two birthdays of the same girl, two years apart. The Little Mermaid cake was her 4th birthday, and the Pokemon was her 6th.
She is growing up so fast!
I love when I get to try a new technique, and I had been wanting to try these "scales." They were every bit as easy as they look! I would love to try the same technique in different designs.
The cake as it looked when they picked it up.
The mother had a figurine for on top of the cake, so I left that empty. I also tried the shells of the "bra" both directions, and this way they actually fit on the cake better.
Which is the cake, and which is the birthday girl? Lol
By her 6th birthday, she had moved on to Pokemon. The party was so cute, all of the grown ups in her family had "Pokemon Trainer" t-shirts, and, of course, there was a bounce house!
This one was fairly simple, but making Pikachu's face look right proved to be a little difficult. I played with it on the mat, and made changes before I put it on the cake, and I still think it turned out slightly out of proportion. Oh well, the birthday girl was thrilled, and that's all that matters. (I also thought the bottom tier "Pokeball" looked a little like Santa Claus, but once I put the top on, it tied the tiers together!)
"Artistic view" Lol! I tilted my phone, so that I could get closer, and still get the whole cake in the picture.
The whole spread. As you can see behind the table, Bella is well loved!
