Mickey Mouse Cake!

Last weekend, I got a request for a Mickey Mouse cake for my boss's daughters birthday. I did a bit of scrambling and was able to find a Wilton Mickey Mouse pan in perfect condition on UsedRegina for SUPER cheap! I whipped up a quick vanilla batter and got him in the oven. Decorating was a bit more tedious. I used a star tip and piped that all over, it took a long time and I ended up with a very tired and sore hand in the end. The hardest part of this project was to make the black icing. I don't care what people say.. black is by far the most challenging colour to make, especially from the Wilton colour gels. Oh boy, I used almost a whole tube of black colour in my icing and it still looked green. After I gave up with trying to colour it to be the perfect black and started to pipe, it slowly turned in to a richer colour of black!

The good thing was the my boss thought it was awesome and said his little girl would think so too! I sure hope they enjoyed it as well!

Kaits :)
