Guitar Birthday Cake

Guitar Cake
This was a cake I made back in December for my daughter's five year birthday. It was my first super challenging cake. She was very happy with the outcome, so I was pleased!!

Rainbow Cake
I got this idea, once again, from almostunschoolers.blogspot. They used it as a science project. I thought the idea was great and used it with the Hannah Montanna birthday cake. The kids (and adults) loved seeing all the colors when I cut into the cake, it was like a hidden suprise under all that icing. I didn't take a picture of the process. It is really quite simple. Divide the pre made cake batter into bowls, you will need a seperate bowl for each color that you want to use. Add food coloring to the batter, then plop it into the cake pan, one color on top of the next. Mine seemed to want to go off center in the pan, I would just shake it gently back into place and it worked just fine.

Hannah Montanna Birthday Cake
Here is the infamous cake. I really didn't want to do Hannah Montanna, but my 4 year old kept on insisting that is what she wanted, so I did the least version of it as possible, yet in her eyes still pass for a Hannah Montanna cake. She really liked it so I guess it was a success. The cake part was actually a rainbow effect, I forgot to take a picture when we cut through it. The kids and adults loved it.

It's hard for me to believe, but this was from one year ago. Tonight I will be presenting her with a Hannah Montanna cake (not that I like her very much or that my daughter knows much about her). It's always nerve racking for me. Will they like it, is it what they imagined...etc? She loved this cake at her 3rd birthday. It was from a mold, which I will never do again. I like the freedom of forming my own creations. I am not a cake artist for sure, but my mom always made homemade cakes for us growing up and I want to carry on the legacy.
