And decided to go all the way with a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake. Here's how it turned out
The name letters across the top had dried on toothpicks but fell off and got soggy in the rainy weather. But the rest of the cake stayed put fantastically!! I loved working with this recipe. One of the comments mentioning coloring the Fondant while heating the marshmallows which I completely agree with. I didn't do so cause I wasn't sure how much it would make and how much I needed of each color. But next time will separate it out. Another tip is to use cornstarch to roll it out on. I didn't have any so just used more confectioners sugar and then more butter if it got a little dry. But really very easy to work with. It's totally like adult playdoh and the best part is it tastes so good!! No peeled off Fondant pieces on the plates, everyone loved it!! I did buttercream frost in between the layers and under the Fondant. Got that excellent recipe on allrecipes.com too. Good stuff!!
Also made a full size cutout of a Mickey Mouse that the kids helped design and paint and a Mickey Mouse head outline Piñata. Will add to the blog. Was so much fun!!
