Anyway, on to my latest cake. It was for one-year-old Tasha, and my neighbour friend wanted something similar to the boy baby shower cake I made, but change it up for a girl's birthday. And add a "1" block on the top (made of Rice Krispies treat). I used hot pink a.k.a. fuchsia fondant (white chocolate and regular mixed) so it's not the traditional baby pink.
Before I covered the chocolate cakes in fondant, they were filled with vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream and had a dark chocolate ganache shell. The block also had white modelling chocolate before the fondant treatment.
Everyone was happy with their cake... some kids had seconds, some kids asked for seconds but were denied the request by their parents (smart!), some ate part of the cake but mostly the fondant and were bouncing off the wall (William). The birthday girl seemed to enjoy it as well, even though she was stripped down to her diaper.
Happy 1st Birthday, Tasha!
