I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm mostly doing wedding cakes these days. So when I get to make a nice sized birthday cake, I seem to lose my mind! Especially when I have extra time. This mom has being getting all of her kids birthday cakes from us for a few years now. Those loyal customers are the ones the you want to do EXTRA for!
I was told to make a circus themed cake. I knew it was for a girl, so I wanted to soften it a little with the pink tent and lighter blue (instead of primary colors). I looked at some invitations on Etsy.com for inspiration. The bottom two tiers are buttercream with fondant accents. The tent is all fondant. I made the roof out of cereal treats. The the popcorn was piped with a #12 tip and dusted with yellow petal dust (flick it off of a paint brush). The jelly beans and lollies are made of fondant with tylose powder.
If I had another day I wanted to do a circus lion, seal, clowns, etc....I left myself plenty of room on the cake board and yellow tier, but no extra time. It's sad when you can't do all that you want, but the mommy only paid for one tier so I shouldn't feel bad.
