My daughter requested a school cake birthday cake this year. School cake is a very simple cake to make in theory, but I'd never made one before and was a bit nervous - I'm not the best baker! I think you can make a cake look fancier if you're doing a round birthday cake - especially if it is covered in some kind of buttercream or frosting that you can use to hide a multitude of sins! But, school cake was what she wanted and the theme was Stitch from Lilo and Stitch!
I made the topper in advance using my Cricut - I was very pleased with this part of the cake!
I printed the Stitch character onto card and cut him out by hand. The other elements I cut out on my Cricut Joy machine and assembled and stuck together. I used the Stitch movie font to cut out "Emily" from glitter iron-on vinyl, which I ironed onto the card banner part. I was so pleased with how this turned out!
Then it was time to make the cake...
Not the most polished cake - but the birthday girl was very happy with it! I used my topper, and some Stitch characters that my daughter had, to decorate the cake.
Then seven candles were added when it was time to sing 'Happy Birthday' and blow out the candles!
Bye for now!
