About a month ago, I decided that I was going to bake a cake for Madelyn's birthday, instead of spending $40 on a store bought version that isn't all that great. Wow, was I in for it!!! It didn't look that hard. I went to Michael's and bought the Tinkerbell Face Character cake pan. It had step by step instructions on how to do everything. Easy enough! And by the way, Tinkerbell is Madelyn's favorite - but she calls her "Tinkey Bew" since she can't quite say Tinkerbell.
About a week later, I went back to Michael's and bought all of the cake decorating equipment that I was going to need to complete this project. It cost a little more than I had anticipated, but I figured it was worth it. My mom was actually a big support at this point. I was lucky though, Marcus' birthday came before Madelyn, so I decided to practice on him. I didn't make the Tinkerbell for him, but I did decorate a cake! It wasn't great, but it gave me some confidence. I was ready.
So Friday night, I baked the cake. See it below:
The cake part turned out pretty good! I was excited to do the decorating.
Saturday was family party day, so I colored the icing and got ready to decorate! Here is the final product:
I'd say it turned out pretty good for my very first character cake!!!
Let me know what you think!!!!!!
Oh, here's a few pictures from eating the cake and the presents:
There's one more baby bear to add to her ever growing collection!
She is just the cutest little girl. Look at that face!
