So, I promised I would share this with you... My daughters birthday fell on the first day of school, so we decided to have her birthday sleepover party the weekend before... Yes, shes like the Queen of England and had 2 birthdays this year!! For her party she had a very specific design and instructions... It all started with the invitations....
The color scheme for the cake was the same..
She wanted a two tier round marbled cake with fondant and circles of turquoise, green and purple! ARGH!!
Ive never dealt with fondant before (and will be happy to never do it again!) but always up for a challenge I gave it a go!! Heres the result!...

Base layer covered...
Top Tier covered.
Supports added and cake stacked!! So far so good!
Next we had to roll a thousand little circles and add the balls of fondant around the edges...
And.... Drumroll please...
Final result...
The cake went down well although nobody liked the fondant and it was really hard to cut!! Im quite happy in the future to pay someone enormous amounts of money to make our family birthday cakes...!
Of course on her 'Official Birthday' we had to have cupcakes.... She is a strange child and loves watching the 'annoying orange' clips on YouTube... (really annoying!!) Her latest favourite stars a Marshmallow who sneezes glitter (!) So, she gave me yet another challenge... (sigh)
I made a tower of German Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Frosting and found glitter-like sprinkes and tiny marshmallows... RESULT!!!...
Again, I kept with the color scheme and found purple and green cupcake cases.... I made the top cake just for her and we put letter candles in each cake spelling out Happy Birthday!
Thank goodness I have a year to recover!!
Thanks for looking
