Before I left for my month-away-from-Madison, my roommate Meghan was in the process of making a Tigger birthday cake. Meghan babysits from Zelie (and her siblings) and the little girl is o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d with Tigger. Meghan planned the whole cake and made the entire thing — the only thing I did was frost/assemble the cake before I left for my trip. I am still attempting to convince Meghan to stay in the Midwest and not move back to New Jersey — cause we could totally start a little cake making biz. :)
A few notes about what Meghan used:
– Tigger’s face was handcut by Meghan and made out of fondant
– The black stripes were made using Wilton sugar sheets
This is SOOOO cute! I love the bright colors. Tonight I’m catching up on your blog…your trip sounds like it was fun.
Do you make your own fondant? If so, do you have a recipe to share?
I don’t make my own — I buy Wilton fondant (available at Hobby Lobby, Michael’s Crafts, and many baking shops)
Zelie loved this cake so much she still talks about it. She refers to it as “my Tigger cake from Meghan.” When we told her Christmas was Jesus’ birthday, her eyes lit up. “A Tigger cake?” she asked. If only Jesus were so lucky… :)
Aww! I passed your comment along to Meghan, I’m sure she’ll be thrilled to hear that Zelie loved the cake so much :)
