I made a Minnie Mouse Ears cake for a friend of mine. She’s a big Disney fan. Okay, that’s an understatement. She’s visited Disneyland every year since she was born, and gets more excited about it than some kids do. She loved this cake so much, she slept with it on her night table and ate it a crumb at a time. I love how this little cake was able to take her to her happy place!

Princess cakes—especially the Disney kind are popular these days. Instead of a standard sheet-cake, I thought I’d try a tiered cake with a chocolate transfer sheet wrapped around one of the tiers. I found the perfect pattern at the Fancy Flours website. 

I should have photographed the process of getting the sheet ready to apply to the cake. It was a bit scary, and difficult to work with—definitely in the more advanced arena of decorating. I love the look of it though- and will probably try it again some time.
