It is hard to put into words the joy our little niece has brought to our family. It seems as though I blinked and there she is two years old. A beautiful, sensitive, inquisitive little soul. It really blows my mind. Today was her birthday party, we celebrated with water balloons, sand castle making, sidewalk chalk and bubbles. Whenever I see her with bubbles I think of the line from knocked up " I wish I liked anything as much as they like bubbles" - it really is a beautiful thing to see.Above is the tinkerbell cake I made for her party.
Happy Birthday pumpkin head.
The field on the bottom is vanilla cake baked in a 12" square pan, covered with icing (I used the hair/grass tip and wilton icing tint).
The tree stump is made out of chocolate cake and baked in two 6x2" round pans, covered in icing. I used the icing tint and a kebab stick to make circles in the tree stump. I also used the icing to make the roots.
The flowers and leaves are made out of fondant.
Tinkerbell, is actually a candle I bought at the bulk barn. I put some leaves and flowers around her base in order to make her look more like part of the cake.
