The first tier is vanilla cake with vanilla butter icing, the top tier is chocolate cake with chocolate butter icing, and I put the birthday boy’s name in 3D sugar paste letters on a sugar paste cloud.
I try to give my sugar paste figures a little personality by putting them in different poses and giving them facial expressions, which I did with these handmade teddy bears.
This was my first attempt at doing the gelatin bubbles as cake decorations – they are a sticky, messy, tricky task, and my first bubbles weren’t perfect, but I think they looked pretty good once they were on the cake. 😊
This gorgeous design is by ArchiCAKEture, and I do hope I did her design justice.
