Oct 15, Jaylas Kailan Birthday Cake

by Maria Mendoza
(Brooklyn, NY East NY)



I made this cake using 2, 10"x 2 round cake pans. It was a white cake with strawberries and cream. I covered it in fondant. I decorated it with a Kailan theme. I made a template of Kailan and cut it out like a puzzle, head, eyes, hair, hands feet, etc.


I then cut the pieces in fondant, let them set a little bit. I then placed them on the cake starting with the body ending with her hair. I do embroidery and when designing on the computer you always start with what's on bottom and work upwards.


I used the same technique to place Kailan. I did the Koala bear the same way. Notice the panda shoes, for this bear really loves pandas.


The tiger, I cut out in gum paste and hand painted the details. I made a plaque in fondant (granite look)and wrote out Happy Birthday in eatable ink.


I made little flowers and butterflies and placed them around the cake. Made a grass border and finished off the design with some flower sugar lolly pops.
