This really was a labor of love 💕 My baby’s first birthday cake. Every day we read Winnie the Pooh and she loves the pictures. So, I set out to try and do them justice. I’ve never painted before attempting this. I practiced on paper then on fondant…l had so many problems I just couldn’t get it to look like the paper paintings. So, I asked for help. Thank you to everyone on here who gave me advice and encouragement, you are all cake super stars!

I took ever y bit of advice and with trial and error was finally happy with the result. I used ivory colored fondant to give the handpainted 2nd tier its vintage look and decided to do it for the top tier too. I used black food doodler pens to outline then dusts to do the painting. The owl although not Winnie the Pooh had to be included as my baby loves her owls. The top tier had unfortunately succumbed to the Spanish heat and it’s terribly wonky…..I didn’t have time to recover it as I was having to put up all the decorations I made in the garden. I also dropped 8 cupcakes on the floor, buttercream side down ! Oooops!!!!

We had the most wonderful day and my baby girl had a fantastic time celebrating with her family and friends. I couldn’t have asked for more 😊

The bottom cake tier is checkered with chocolate, pink velvet and vanilla sponge with dark chocolate ganach and the top two are white chocolate sponges with a pink buttercream and white chocolate ganach. I used a new recipe and they tasted great!

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes and for your lovely comments 😊 I was so nervous about doing this one but thanks to all your great info and feedback, I kept going even though I wanted to redesign it as I was so scared I couldn’t do it. But I knew some of you ladies were waiting to see it, so I didn’t give up!
