Re: Let's see your birthday and special occasion cakes! I made this cake for DD1's 6th birthday. It was spur of the moment, the night before her party and this was what I came up with. I used some kind of large M&M's for the castle. The door and the "mortar" between the M&M "bricks" and the grass are colored sugar crystals. The little flowers in the grass are those tiny candy balls (can't remember what they are called). I used a toothpick with a tiny bit of frosting to put them in place. The words "Happy Birthday Cali" are also the candy thingies. I had no room on the actual cake for the words so I did them separately on a smaller cake. That took forever to position all those little balls. My BIL said I was nuts to take the time to do that!! |
