Castle & Crown Birthday Cake

Made this for both the monkey's birthday party this year. Went through a lot of effort from concept to execution with this cake. Wanted an entirely different spin to what was available in the castle cake dept in Chennai.
But its basically a rainbow cake and rainbow cupcakes dressed up as a castle with a crown on top and individual cupcakes with the names of each lil guest on them.


Of course, I did'nt want fondant cos then it wud taste terrible and the kids wud'nt enjoy eating it as much. Also, since I had to transport it lock, stock and unwieldy barrel, i ended up improvising a lot.

Am extra-ordinarily thrilled with the cake boards with the pink bows...the center one is pink faux fur - sooo over the top! and the 2 Barbies were free gifts with the Macdonald's kiddy meal that i glue-penned in the sleeves and bodice and dressed in silver and pink net skirts over their minis!

A real simple birthday cake for the kids ...twas for our family dinner

Barbie Sisters Cake

Was made for a combined birthday party for both my daughters Isha(4) & Shradha(1) - they're born 3 years & 10 days apart
made it a sisters theme with 2 Barbies on the cake and 60 matching chocolate cupcakes with co-ordinated pink n white frosting.....the main cake was totally six large cakes in all with 7-min frosting
now, the setting i'm rather proud of...every step was improvisation...was a hindu holiday of some kind the day before, so all the shops were closed, had to run across to Amijikarai ( !!! ) and source the pink and satin from a Bhai's shop! .......bought strands of imitation white n pink pearls too with the silver ribbon n jus plain forgot to use them! personally, i can't stand Barbie!! n don't get them any, cos m on a never-ending crusade to convince Isha that Barbie is a sissy girl n a silly goose! thas not the way if u wanna be a tough chick like mama, baby...
