So, my beautiful princess turned two this past Monday. I can hardly believe she is already 2, and can't even remember what life was like before she arrived. I feel like I've known my Olivia my whole life! She has a new love of (or obsession with) Toy Story, so I decided to use this as a theme for her birthday cake. Most of the cakes that I found were more geared towards boys, as are the Toy Story decorations, so I changed things up a bit and decided to do a Jessie theme. Admittedly, I used someone else's idea that found online and tweaked it to suit my needs and abilities. I was thrilled with how it turned out. Mom made two layers - chocolate and vanilla - and a strawberry filling to go inside. It was delicious!
One challenge for me was rolling out the fondant for a cake this big - 2 cakes for each layer. Mom, the expert baker, helped with this, and also with the braided fondant on the bottom. Can't forget Sara, who also helped with the braiding and the picture documenting! The yellow part of Jessie's shirt was also a challenge - in hindsight, I should have put it on the cake then made the necessary scallops. Either way, I love the cake, and Olivia did too!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE CUTEST COWGIRL EVER!
