Minnie Mouse inspired cakes are always a big hit for a little girl's first birthday, and this one was super easy to make.

I used cutters and molds for just about everything. I used black Fondarific fondant for the black accents. I used a Wilton Mickey Mouse cutter for the ears. A Wilton Decorative Pie Crust Impression Mat for the border, and a silicone mold for the mini bows. The alligator texture on the fondant covering the cake drum was made with a silicone impression mat. I used an Anne Clark cookie cutter for the number "1". The only thing I made free hand was the large bow on top, and that came out a little wonky looking for my taste. LOL.
For the Walt style lettering on the cake I actually made those cutters myself using my new toy - a Creality 3D printer. Here is the "R". How cool is that!
So if you want a really easy Minnie Mouse cake to make, give this design a try...
Happy Decorating,
