happy birthday olivia =)

its my friends olivia's birthday soon and we decided to celebrate this past weekend.

my friend angela and i decided to bake her a cake
after much thought, we decided on a red velvet cake with white chocolate cream cheese frosting.
after much research, we decided to create a totoro fondant cake.
thanks to cakejournal.com for the inspiration (on the totoro figures)....



the red velvet...


while it was cooling, we made these characters....next time we're going to make them look more 3d...



then we covered the cake with fondant...




our finished product =)

This cake looks amazing and just what I would like to do for my daughter's birthday in a few weeks. Do you mind sharing how you made the figurines?
