Mickey Cake
This is the cake I made for my son's 4th birthday this year. I took the clubhouse template from Disney's website, then made my characters out of fondant. We found out that the colors will change if left in the sun, so next time we'll not bring the cake out until the last minute. The kids all loved it. As did my Mickey Mouse crazy boy. The main cake is butter cream, then the clubhouse is color flow icing. I was not entirely happy with how the color flow turned out, it was still sticky and cracked when we tried to transfer it. I may experiment next time with putting the color flow directly on the cake. It turned out that we had to invert the image to get it onto the cake, then i had to touch up a few sections, but it turned out good. All the color leeched out of the pinks and purples when in the sun, and the blues got darker. It was interesting.
