My Little Pony Rainbow Dash Cake

This was a cake I just really wanted to make. I mean, what little girl doesn't love My Little Pony? Friendship, girly colors and fun songs? What more could you want?

And if you don't know my oldest daughter, she reminds me of Rainbow Dash. Always going somewhere doing something. There just no sitting still with this child. It had to be Rainbow Dash.

I started with banana cake and American buttercream.
 I frosted the cake.
 And I mixed some light blue fondant.
 But I needed a lot of color for this cake.
 But the light blue was beautiful.
 I covered the cake with light blue fondant.
 Then I wrapped rainbow colors over a circle cutter to get the general shape. One end curled up. I started with purple.
 Then blue.
 Then I wrapped snakes of all the colors of the rainbow.
 Next I made some clouds out of general puffy shapes.
 And I lined the bottom of the cake with the clouds.
 Finally, it was time to make Rainbow Dash. I started out with her legs. I made a thick snake of light blue fondant and rolled them so the ends were thicker than the tops. My Little Pony characters all have very chunky legs.
 I made the body out of fat tube of light blue fondant.
 And I added some stability with toothpicks.
 Then I shaped the head. It's generally an upside down teardrop shape with two ears pinched out of it.
 I pushed a toothpick all the way through the head, body and front legs into the cake to keep it from wobbling.
 I rolled the rainbow colors into tiny snakes and laid them over the head onto the neck.
 Love the rainbow colors.

 Then I twisted a piece of each color together to form the tail.
 I cut out black, reddish purple and white with piping tips and used them for Rainbow Dash's eyes.
 Of course, I trimmed down the white...
 And lined the top of the eyes with black and added catch lights to the eyes.
 My Little Pony fans, what did I not add to Rainbow Dash? This is a competition to see who is a die-hard My Little Pony fan. What did I miss?
 But how adorable is this cake? It's so cute.
 I love Rainbow Dash. She's just so very colorful.
 This is a super colorful cake perfect for children or the My Little Pony fan in your life.
 Friendship is magic!

Dress up a Sheet Cake: White on White Wedding Cake

Image
I've been thinking about all the things that have been cancelled because of Covid19 and I think the saddest is the weddings. So much expense, planning, excitement... gone. Now, I know most of you who had to reschedule your wedding will eventually have them. But I don't know how much money you would have lost because of the cancellation of your first planned wedding. So, I thought some of you might need to save money on your future wedding. So, I thought I would share with you a way you could make your own wedding cake out of a regular, plain sheet cake. I started out with a frosted sheet cake. You can frost it yourself or buy it frosted.  Then I thought I would use all of these tips, but I only ended up using the small round tip and the medium star tip. The petal tip and leaf tip weren't needed for this design.  Using a skewer, I traced two interlocking hearts as well as the monograms of the couple. In this case, T and C.  Then I traced over the letters with th

Dairy-Free Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Image
After going through the effort of making my vanilla cake gluten free, dairy free and soy free, I needed a dairy free frosting. American buttercream is easy to make dairy free. But the family I'm making the cake for prefers Swiss meringue buttercream. I googled how to make dairy free Swiss meringue buttercream, and basically every blog I found said that it wasn't possible. They all said you have to use butter. I am not willing to accept that answer. So, I decided to experiment a bit until I found a ratio that works. So, first off, here's the recipe: Dairy-free Swiss Meringue Buttercream: 7 egg whites 2 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups dairy-free margarine 1/2 cup shortening pinch of salt 1 tsp vanilla extract or 1 tbsp vanilla sugar 1 tsp butter vanilla flavoring (optional, if omitting, double amount of vanilla flavoring)  I'm using a stand mixer today with a whisk attachment.  I first whisk the egg whites, sugar and vanilla sugar, if using vanilla sugar. Then I h

Tutorial: How to Make a 2D Simba Cake Topper

Image
 I tried to make this character 3D. I really did. But it was so terrible I just couldn't bring myself to use it.  I eventually decided to try making a 2D figure. Then I could use a template. So first, here's the image I used: First, I cut out a yellow circle to use as a background. Then I added some brown to yellow fondant and rolled it out. I cut around the template and cut out the paws. Then I added the paws cut out of white fondant. Then I used a pointed scuplting tool to press the lines of the template into the fondant. Then, removing the template, I deepened the lines to make them more visible. I added a white muzzle and a pink nose. I painted some brown food coloring mixed with alcohol into the shadows of the face and ears. Finally, I added some undiluted black food coloring to the ears, eyebrows and eyes. How adorable is this? And so clearly Simba. This is a great method for those who can't accurately draw the characters themselves. In other words, perfect for me. Wa
