Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

 

9 inch round cake and 6 inch ball cake
iced and filled with chocolate buttercream
covered and decorated with fondant
ears are made of rice krispy treats

This cake was lots of fun to make.  For the base cake, I used a 9 inch round pan and a 9 inch contour pan.  For the head, I used the sports ball pan and the ears are made from rice krispy treats (RKT).  I wasn't too happy with the head and ears but it was my first time using the ball pan and the using RKT.  It wasn't as smooth as I'd hope it would be.  I'm looking forward to using RKT more in future designs.  It was easier to use when shaping instead of using fondant since fondant tends to lose its shape even when I add some tylose powder to it.

Another Lightning McQueen Cake!

 

It seems that Lightning McQueen is a favorite at birthday parties nowadays.  This cake was made with 6 and 9 inch square chocolate cakes, each with two 2-inch layers.  Iced and filled with chocolate buttercream and then covered with fondant.  The decorations are all made from fondant.

The Lightning McQueen cake on top was carved from a 9-inch square cake, iced with chocolate buttercream and then decorated with fondant.
