Leopard and Hot Pink Birthday Cake w/ Guitar

A better title might be "Take a Rock on the Wild Side." No? Too corny? Whatever. 

I tried something new with this cake and will have to wait until they cut into it before I know if it worked. Supposedly, you can put leopard spots INSIDE a cake! I've done zebra stripes before, but this was the first time for leopard print. I followed the instructions and recipe found here: http://www.sweetdreamscakeapp.com/2013/09/26/animal-print-inside-the-cake/

Hopefully it doesn't look like you-know-what inside. ;-) (Update below-it worked!)

I used yellow cake, and only food coloring for the spots (inside and out) because the birthday girl does not like chocolate. (I know, right?!!) Buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents. The guitar is rice krispy treat covered with buttercream and mmf. Loved how this one turned out! I don't think the photos do it justice, is really a cute cake!

The birthday girls mom was kind enough to send this photo after they cut the cake. Not too bad for my 1st try with the leopard spots technique!

WILD and CRAZY Colorful Birthday Cake

This WILD and CRAZY cake was just F-U-N. The birthday girl wanted bright colors, specifically:n eon green, purple, hot pink, and turquoise blue. She wanted polka dots, stripes, swirlies and zebra print. I think I got it all in, ha ha. The cake is 10" on the bottom and 6" on top, both 2 layers of red velvet cake with vanilla cream filling. The frosting is buttercream. The "13" on top is rice krispy treat covered in buttercream.
