This is an order from Yan Ling who is celebrating her daughter's 1st birthday. She wanted a baby minnie theme and likes to have the cake in polka dots. At first I wanted to search for a baby minnie figurine and place it on the cake but after much effort in searching, I still cannot find it. Therefore, I decided to place a minnie head on the cake instead.

I had a hard time making the minnie head. As I wanted it to be dome shaped, I crumbled the cake and sculpted it into a dome shape (using the cake pop method) and placed it in the fridge. However, as the cake is too cold, while I covered it with fondant, the fondant starts to "perspire". And when I place the ribbon and the ears on it, they start to slide off as the head is "wet". Therefore, it took me quite sometime where I inserted lots of toothpicks into the cake to stabilise the structure.

Nevertheless, the cake and cupcakes are done and hope Yan Ling's daughter had a terrific 1st year birthday party! Check out the party below:
