My Little Pony Cake

Sofia's big 4 cake was a pony themed cake, because we rented a pony for her party (and some small farm animals for petting). So as I thought about what to do for her cake, I knew she wanted bright colors etc., so I went with a My Little Pony cake. I thought about making the ponies out of fondant or gum paste, but there they were available for purchase for a small price, to save me hours of molding....sold!

So as part of the birthday fun, we decorated cupcakes, so I felt I could get away with a relatively small cake. This one was a double 10" cake. Covered in fondant with fondant flower and heart cut outs. A gum paste rainbow and butter cream clouds. Also the pony behind sat on a 3D sun (difficult to tell from these pictures) The birthday girl was very happy with her confectionary model, so mommy was too. I was going for more of a color theme, than "my little pony" so I found these adorable cupcake plates and scooped up a few for fun! Hope you enjoy!

Pony Cake

I'm trying to be a little more consistent with my posts, so here is a pony cake I made for my niece a while back. I was instructed to use a Wilton cake pan mold, and then tediously pipe the frosting on. It took a LONG time! And my hands just aren't used to that kind of piping, so lots of breaks were needed to bring feeling back into my fingers! It turned out to be a cute cake and my niece loved it which was the most important thing!
