A good friend of mine asked me to make a birthday cake for her mother. When talking about what she liked it came out that she LOVES Mickey Mouse. And that she really loves the hat’s you can get when you are there. SO we came up with this design.
Now I don’t like to write on cake’s. It makes me nervous, that and while I can make a great cake, I tend to shake when it comes to the precise details (thanks MOM- I got it from her!), which makes writing NICELY difficult! BUT I think it turned out great.
The ears were really fun to do. AND I discovered a GREAT lemon cake recipe while trying out new recipes for this cake. I’m still not happy with my Strawberry cake recipe though, so anyone that has one they love let me know!

Can you please share/ let me know how you made the top of the cake along with the ears?!
I used a round cake pan for the hat, and dried circles on fondant on the back on the round pans for the ears, then stuck them into the cake!
How did you do the red base?
I show how to cover a cake board here on my lego head tutorial or here in this video tutorial
