My Little Pony: Cake is Magic

Did you miss me? Did you? No? That's OK, I'm going to post an update anyway! I now present to you, PONIES! *yay*

My first drawn pony cake was for my sister. Because she is very much like our fashionista pony of generosity, I made her a Rarity cake. I'm quite proud of this beauty. :)

The cake!

A view of the roses and borders. The triple reverse shell is a favorite of mine, especially when pared with a straight trim underneath.

Top view of roses: purple and mauve rose

Rarity!

My next birthday pony cake was for my niece and she wanted the one and only party pony: Pinkie Pie!

Pinkie was originally going to be a frozen topper, but I didn't like the way it turned out, so I ended up re-drawing it (which is why she's risen up from the cake)

And for my last(?) pony cake: Fluttershy for my sister-in-law.

Her birthday is the day after Valentine's day, so I added some pink hearts, and she loves yellow roses. 

A second view. The borders are reverse shell on top and shell on the bottom.

There you have it, my pony cakes. I would love to do more, but I'm not sure if I'll get the chance. I still have a lot of cakes to add, so stay tuned. I promise I will try to update more often. Also, feel free to ask me any technical questions. I've now been decorating cakes for over 14 years and would love to help anyone interested in giving it a try. Till next time: Love and Peace!

Using Bakery Kits on Cakes

Cake kits are usually used in cakes you purchase from chain store bakeries (other bakeries utilize them as well). I usually like to create my own cakes or use the Wilton character pans for character cakes, but I have done some cakes using the kits.

Disney Princesses can be a joy for any little girl to see on her birthday cake, but it would be difficult to put more than one on a small cake without cake kits. The kits can often be purchased at the chain store bakery or online (I like buying them at Amazon). Also, if you need to spray the background, Wilton's has a wonderful easy-to-use spray can (Color Mist Food Color Spray) that can be purchased from Wilton's (Color Mist) or from most craft supply stores (I use my local A.C. Moore).

For the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic cake, I added Pinkie Pie and Spike, as well as cupcake rings. The great thing about this kit is that the two figures (Applejack and Twilight Sparkle) were the same size as the molded plastic toys, so they are a great gift to any MLP fan.

Barbie! No series of cakes can be complete without Barbie. This cake design required stacking the cake, and removing a section of the top layer (for Barbie's patio). The "dream house" opens in the back, is decorated inside, and comes with paper doll cut outs to play with.

I consider the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Barbie cake kits to be super kits. They truly are usable toys that you decorate cakes with. 

I hope that these designs might inspire others to try at home decorating. I'll be back soon with more cakes!
