You asked for it, and I deliver. Which means I'm going to show you the Minnie Mouse Cake I made for my sister's birthday party. You probably didn't know I am a whiz at creating five tier cakes did you? Me either.
Faux Minnie Mouse Cake!
I would be shouting from the rooftops if it was a cake, so it looks like they'll be no shouting today because it is five round white boxes I turned upside down, stacked and decorated.
Cutting out all the designs from cardstock using my cricut and wrapping the bottom with polka dot ribbon.
It really was the safest way to make a cake this large for the party.
Partly because only the top layer would have been eaten and then I would have had to eat four layers of cake.
Don't worry, the birthday girl didn't go with out a cake, I made her and everyone else tiered cookie cakes to display next to the Minnie Mouse Cake!
Here's a three tier cake I wouldn't have any trouble eating.
Quite simple to make with fondant layers in between each cookie and topped with a fondant flower to match the ones on the faux cake.

Little tiered cookie cakes all around the faux cakes.
Start by measuring out three sizes of round cookie cutters.
Bake six cookies (two each of the three sizes) for each cake.
Roll and cut red fondant with the three size round cutters and stack.
(Not Shown: Before adding the frosting to hold them together, I cut out three sizes of white round pieces of fondant to place on the cookies.)
I then rolled and cut red and white flowers.
Shaped them with a ball tool and placed a black circle in the center.
Let them dry in flower formers until the morning of the party.
I added a glob of frosting and stuck the flower to the cookie cakes and placed them in their little glass display.
Oh, and did I mention I made another little cake? Well I did and it caused me a little trouble. I'll save that for another time.
Now you know how to make a five tier cake and won't have to worry about a thing. I actually made the faux cake months before the party...you can't say that about every cake, right?
Could this possibly be the new trend in cakes? I doubt it.
It's Cakealicious!
Hi, you had me fooled for a minute until I read further down the page. It looks fab, you truly did a great job! The mini cakes look so cute!
ReplyDeleteAww, thanks! I think I had the guest fooled for a minute too. I felt kind of bad when I had to tell the kids that the cake was a box! :)
DeleteI saw the cake and my jaw dropped. Then I read you faked it and and to be perfectly honest, I was even more inpressed! That cake is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThe cookie cakes are gorgeous with all the tiers and that adorable flower. Love this party!
Thank you Lisa - I knew it would be the only way for me to make a five tier cake!
DeleteCool idea. If wedding cakes were made this way, then smaller sheet cakes were frosted to serve, we'd all have fresher cake at the reception!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be fun to see one of these box cakes at a wedding??
Deletea boxed cake? hey now you're talking my speed! lol yours is true perfection, 5 -tiered and mini! i die over those cute little domed cases too! :)
ReplyDeleteIt puts a whole new meaning to box cake!!! :) I sort of fell in love with the little domed case too.
DeleteLove those cookie stacks! Thanks for the walk through on how to make them, they turned out perfect!
ReplyDeleteI was so happy they actually fit under the dome! Thanks Michelle.
DeleteThe cookies are adorable but where did you get those little dishes you put them in? I love them!
ReplyDeleteThank you Marty, I've been checking the website where I ordered them and it looks like they don't carry them anymore, sorry, I ordered these several years ago.
DeleteYou have one lucky sister:) I LOVE the tiered cake decoration and the cookie cakes are so charming!
ReplyDeleteHa, I tell her how lucky she is all the time...just kidding, I'm just as lucky! :)
