Fun Cake Decorating Ideas – Seasonal Cakes – Horsing Around

This cake was a very fun project. I made this cake for the Fall Fair and the theme for the year was “Horsing Around in the Neighbourhood”.

My two kiddo’s helped me as well. They are really starting to enjoy helping me bake and decorate cakes.

Since the theme was Horsing Around in the Neighbourhood, I decided that this cake should have a whole bunch of horses doing silly and fun things.

So I created a cake that served as a park-like landscape and in that park, horses were having a lot of fun, human-style.

My kids came up with some of the ideas, like roasting the marshmallows on a campfire and playing hula-hoop. Another horse is swimming in the pond and the last one is playing with a ball.

My daughter made the hula-hoop and this was her idea. She actually won first prize in two hula-hoop contests at the fair two years ago.

My son was the creator of the ball and the pylon. Decorating a cake with fondant is a lot of fun and a lot like playing with Play-Doh, it just tastes better ;0)

Around the cake I “wrote” the theme in fondant and I also created a horse shoe in each corner. The little horse shoes on the front of the cake were done by my kids.

The picture really does not show the cake as well as it looked. I will have to add this to my “Amanda’s Fun Cake Decorating Ideas Vol.2” book where I will have more detailed pictures of the characters and the decorating process.

This cake won the first prize again at the Fall Fair and I shared the prize money with my kids since they helped me create it.
