Children's birthday cakes are vibrant and playful! This is inspired by a cake from http://pinkcakebox.com/ . Their cakes are always very smooth and look very clean. So whenever I get a request to make a cake similar to theirs I always know that I have a lot to live up to. The design is simple, stars and stripes. However, when you stack it and make a large cake the stars, stripes and polka dots make it look very alive! This cake feeds close to 100 people. The bottom tier was a chocolate cake with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, the center was white cake with coconut cream cheese filling and the top cake is funfetti and vanilla buttercream.
(Quick note, the wire is not touching the cake inside. Instead I inserted the wire into coffee stirrers and cut the coffee stirrers just below the cake so they wouldn't show. Hopefully this example will help.)
If you want to do this use 20" floral wire, I got mine at Michael's. The coffee stirrers you can buy at Smart & Final. You will have to go through more than one sometimes, the holes on the coffee stirrers are not always big enough.
Here they are on the finished cake!
