Two-tiered LOL Surprise Birthday Cake

 This cake was basically designed by my 8-year-old. She told me exactly what she wanted for her birthday party.

The bottom tier is 6-inch chocolate cake filled and frosted with white chocolate ganache.


Then I cut a circle of cardboard about 4 inches in diameter and covered it with tin foil.
I stacked and frosted a 4-inch red velvet cake with white chocolate ganache.
Then I covered the top tier in turquoise fondant.
And the bottom tier in pink fondant.
I placed dowels into the bottom tier in this triangular formation.
Then I stacked the tiers. The dowels may not have been necessary since this cake is so small, but I wanted to add them just to increase stability.
Then I cut some pink fondant into strips. And, using the measurement marks on my silicone mat, I made diagonal cuts at regular intervals.
Then I created a zig-zag on the side of the top tier with the diagonal strips.
All the way around the cake.
And I cut out some polka dots with a round piping tip and placed them on the top of the cake.
Then I cut some strips of turquoise fondant and made them into diagonal stripes along the side of the bottom tier.
All the way around the cake.
And, just to spice it up a bit, I added some white flowers around the cake.
And, finally, I added two LOL Surprise dolls onto the cake. The top doll is MC Swag and the bottom doll is Diva.
My daughter loved her birthday cake. It's exactly what she designed.
The colors are on brand for LOL Surprise and the dolls really make the cake.
Happy Birthday, Sabrina!

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
