Tinkerbell Cake

A friend of mine asked if I could make a Tinkerbell cake for her granddaughter's first birthday a couple months ago. I have to admit, it was fun to do such a girly cake, with pink and purple flowers everywhere.

This cake was a two layer 10" vanilla with vanilla filling and vanilla buttercream. I picked up the Tinkerbell for the topper - her wings light up! 

One thing I learned while making this one was.... I really need to brush up on my skills when it comes to piping. It took me awhile and I still wasn't very happy about it in the end. I was very happy with the large center flower - even though under the watchful observation of an 8 year old, it was pointed out that there wasn't a center for the flower. I now know better for next time. I will also get the okay from my 8 year old before I deliver another one.
