This past weekend was my niece's 2nd birthday. She loves Minnie Mouse, or as she likes to call her, "MeMo"! So it only makes sense that her birthday was Minnie Mouse themed!
Her cake and cupcakes were cherry chip with a vanilla frosting dyed pink. The ears for the cupcakes were made with fondant cut out with a melon baller (my circle cutters were either too big or too small so I had to get creative!) and the bows were made with a fondant/gumpaste blend to make them more solid. They were pretty tedious but so worth it.
I bought a half sphere cake pan for the Minnie Mouse hat part of the cake and that cake pan is seriously awesome! It is going to come in handy for so many cakes!
Here are a few pictures of the process:
