Simple enough I thought. But the thing about me is everything has to be BIG. So I set about creating an A3 size cake! This entailed making 3 cakes to make ONE giant cake.
I always bake a chocolate mud, not only is it yummy but as it's so dense that it can be made months in advance and frozen. Once defrosted, it can be kept for 3-5 days before eating which gives me lots of opportunity to ice it, work the fondant and then let it set. The fondant also further seals the cake to avoid it drying out. I also have the BEST recipe for this cake - it's easy, yum and never fail!
I made two large rectangle cakes from an A3 sized cake tin... I then cut the cakes from a fairy Dora print-out. I also made a simple round cake to raise the level of the face. Once I had all the cakey bits in place, I coloured my fondant and begain using the cut-outs to shape the fondant and place over the cake. It was quite time-consuming shaping all the parts, but worth the result in the end.
Tyler absolutely loved it!
Going fully and whole-heartedly with the enchanted fairy garden theme. I made sugar cookies for the fairy garden, cake pops and cupcakes with handmade fairy decorations. Yellow and pink was the colour theme as they are Tyler's favourite colours, so everything was decorated using this colour palette including the party decor.
