Aubrey Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I'm planning to make a stuffed bundt cake (chocolate w/ cherry pie filling, or something like that), but I'm flexible. I'd like it to be beautiful, though. Decoration ideas? If I really need to do a flat cake, I'm game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari C in SC Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 This is not the most creative thing, but I have often times bought a new set of whatever character my child likes an set it on top of the cake. You can add silk flowers around it to make it look nicer. The bonus part is the child gets a new toy too. My kids always have loved the special birthday cake toy they weren't expecting to get.

I talk to the trees Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Hmmm... The little "Ponyville" ponies are the perfect size to use as cake toppers. You could paint a scene with frosting- perhaps a rainbow would work with the shape of the cake? Then add a couple of ponies frolicking at the end of the rainbow? Or you could cut the cake in half and make two rainbows. Just an idea! -Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie in tx Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I've used the kid's play pieces or I've purchased, for $5, a set from Kroger or any other grocery store. If they do a My Little Pony Cake, then you could certainly buy the cake topper set and be ready to go. My girls always ask for a specific color of cake, so i don't have to worry so much about that.

I used a round pan, cut it in half and stood it on it's side. You might be able to do something like it with a Bundt cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tina in WA Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Here is a link to making a horse cake from Family Fun Magazine: Horse Cake. I made this one year for my dd, but added a horn for a unicorn. :) It was easy enough to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarita Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Check out this website: http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/ Specifically, the My Little Pony section is: http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/cake-design.html Most of them are flat cakes, so they might not be useful to you. But maybe you can get an idea or two. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I did this one year and found a birthday My Little Pony set that had a toy cake in it that was muscial and played "Happy Birthday." It was a huge hit!

Mamagistra Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Coming in late, but my new favorite way to do cake decor is with rolled marzipan (sugared almond paste). It tastes yummy, too. I just roll it out, cut it to the shapes I need, then paint it using a paintbrush and food or candy coloring. Here's a little Transformers cake that I did for my dear nephew (it's a little blurry, sorry): Shaped 3-D marzipan is fun, too, but flat stuff is infinitely easier to me. :) Please post your cake. I love to get new ideas. :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
