I had a bad experience trying to make my daughter’s 2nd birthday cake this year. I finally settled on making a cake with ruffles. This was my first attempt at making a cake with ruffles. I believe I used a petal tip to do this.

Minnie Mouse Cake Pan

Wait! Before you leave, do you want to know how to make a Minnie Mouse Cake? Click here on my Minnie Mouse cake category to learn how to make one.

Would you rather have a Minnie Mouse cake pan instead of making a Minnie Mouse cake?

You can buy a Wilton Minnie Mouse Cake Pan on Amazon. Now as of today, the seller is selling this for an obscene price! $164.99 to be exact! Hopefully when you view this post there are more available. If you are lucky, you might be able to find one on eBay. Unfortunately, this doesn’t seem to be available anymore. If you REALLY want a Minnie cake pan, it seems like your only avenues are to look on eBay, Craigslist, or keep stalking Amazon and hope it comes back in from a seller. Wilton does not make this pan anymore.

However, there are some alternatives. What you could do is buy Wilton Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cake Pan and get creative. I have faith most of you could make a bow or add eyelashes on Mickey Mouse. :)

You could also buy a Minnie Mouse Edible Image Cake Topper from Amazon.

You can also purchase the Minnie Mouse Edible Icing Cake Topper at Birthday Express.

Minnie Mouse Edible Icing Cake Topper

Another option is to simply make a round, square, or rectangular cake and decorate with Minnie Mouse figurines. Disney Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Minnie Icing Decorations and a Minnie Mouse cake topper seen here would be cute.

 

Birthday Express has an excellent selection of birthday party supplies also.

Yummy. How about decorating a cake with delicious and edible cake images or decorations? I think this is a great idea for kids birthday cakes and baby showers. This month I’m going to focus on finding these cute decorations. I did find a few companies that sell these products.

Amazon has a lot of cake decorating supplies including edible decor for a cake.

Cake Airbrush Machines

It’s August, and I haven’t baked in over a month. However, that will change soon. I was looking for a cake airbrush machine to use for future projects. There are a variety of styles and models to choose from. I also though they were going to be super expensive, but there seems to be a decent variety of prices. I know absolutely nothing about airbrushing, so today begins my research. This is the advice I found so far about cake airbrush machines:

  • Some cake decorators recommend a single action airbrush with a good compressor; however, some recommend a dual action with good compressor.
  • Some people said too many features = not always easy to use.
  • Get a airbrush machine with great compressor reviews.
  • If you get a compressor that is too small, it could burn up too quickly.
  • Some cake decorators recommended buying a airbrush machine with chrome plated pens versus plastic.
  • With wear and tear, you will probably overtime replace the needle, nozzle, and crown needle cap.
  • You want an oil-less compressor
  • You want the ability for you to regular the air flow.
  • You want a moisture trap feature on an airbrush machine.

Cake Airbrush Machine Brands:

  • KopyKake
  • Duff’s
  • Aztek
  • Wilton

Here are a selection of cake airbrush machines.

How to Attach Gumpaste Flowers to a Buttercream or Fondant Cake

Attaching gumpaste flowers to a buttercream or a fondant cake can be a fragile task! Below are some ways that many cake decorators do this:

  • Use wires to insert inside the cake that is also inserted in the flower
  • Use royal icing to attach the flowers
  • Use candy melts to stick the flower to the cake
  • Use coffee straws
