Fun cake decorating ideas – Fantasy Cakes – Fairies

Here is another birthday cake I did for a daughter of a good friend of mine. Her daughter turned 5 and we were visiting them for a week. She used to live right close to us in Whangarei, New Zealand but now lives close to Palmerston North, which is a good 8 hours away. So as you can understand, we did not go there just for the birthday party.

To create this cake I had to do with whatever was available as far as cooking and baking tools was concerned. I did not take my entire cake decorating kit along. My friend’s daughter loves fairy tales and fairies, so I decided that that was going to be my theme for this cake.

The shape and size of the cake was, again, dependent on the tools available.

I made and decorated the cake while the birthday girl was in school. This did not give me a lot of time, since she was only turning 5, she wasn’t going to school for full days yet.

She had no idea I was making this, or any, cake for her. She was so surprised and so happy with the cake that we were not allowed to cut it until much later and until everyone had seen it.

I used my favourite recipe for my sponge cake and decorated the cake with icing and created the leaves and flower pellets from fondant made out of marshmallows. For the flower bud right a the top I used paper cupcake liners.

The fairies and the ladybugs complete the picture.

I have a lot more Fun Cake Decorating ideas in my “Fun Cake Decorating Ideas” book, which you can get here.
