A frantic friend called me on Friday asking if I could make a small cake for her son's 4th birthday--on Monday. Her son had fallen in love with a cake in a local grocery store, but the store couldn't take the order. She requested yellow cake with fudge icing for the cupcakes. The center cake is marble sour cream pound cake with buttercream icing.
If you could have seen the little guy's face when he saw his cake! He wanted to touch it and asked his mom to "take the toy out" so that he could play with it. He was even happier when he found out that he could EAT IT "the toy"--after dinner, of course!
The only inedible items on the display are the cupcake wrappers, the boards, the sign supports, and the straws supporting the honey pot. The honey pot itself is made out of molded strawberry rice krispie treats. The hats and bear are hand modeled fondant.
