Making a birthday cake

August 17, 2010 by Louise 50 Comments

My daughter is turning 9 and I will be making a birthday cake with a bunny theme this year. Last year I made a small cake with a replica of her dwarf hamster Viola, but sadly we lost Viola two weeks ago and a little Lionhead bunny is now on her whish list. So I will make a little 3D replica, since she will get a little Lionhead bunny for her birthday this year.

I will give you an update later this week on how the project turns out. You can see some of the other birthday cakes that I have made for my daughter over the years below:

Happy Caking!

Louise

    I was going to make a cake similar to your one with the doll in the middle for my daughter’s birthday, but she wasn’t so keen on the idea of having her doll put in her cake. Keep up the good work.

    I wish my mother was half the mom you are. Haha, neither of my parents were there for my birthdays, but they were there for both my siblings birthdays. My only request to my parents were to be there on the day, my mom never made cakes and stuff like that. It’s awesome just to see that you take the time to create for your daughter.

    Your daughter is a very lucky girl; she’s had some fabulous birthday cakes over the years. Your hamster model is particularly impressive, very realistic.

    Beautiful! And I LOVE the bunny? Did you make it out of gum paste or maybe 1 part fondant 1 part gum paste? I need to make a character cake in a couple weeks, & I’ve never made them before so I’m not sure what I should make them out of…what would be your suggestion?

    I loved the cakes you have made for your little girl on her bday. Would love to make them myself for my litle one when he/she arrives into this world in December. But I have no idea how to. Do you have a tutorial for these 4 bday cakes. Happy birthday to your little angel. And I must say, she has a talented mother.
