Owl Birthday Cake

Owl themed birthday parties are super popular right now,
and I got to create this cake for a 1st birthday party!



We focused on the pink and brown from the party plates
for the design of this cake.

It's a 5"/8"/12" cake frosted in buttercream with fondant
and gumpaste decorations. The smash cake is a 5" cake and
a 6" half ball cake that was slightly carved to help create the
owl shape. It's frosted in buttecream with a few candy pieces
for decorations.







Happy 1st Birthday Kailey!

  3. You're welcome! I use a small icing spatula to put the icing on, and then a bench scraper to smooth everything out. Hope this helps!

  4. Love this cake! I was wondering if you have a template for the owl. Also, how did you add texture to the ribbon?
