Patty Cake, Patty Cake

I have posted before about making birthday cakes for my kidlets. They pick and I bake. Einstein had a very specific cake he wanted made. It is a cake from the online game Toontown. We love Toontown and play it --a lot.

Anywho -- Einstein wanted a Toontown cake. I was a little worried about making a tall layer cake. It wasn't something I have ever done before and I envisioned all of the lopsided cakes I have made before and didn't want the 'Leaning Tower of Cake'. I got started by baking 4 different layers. When I started planning this cake I knew that I would use pudding between the layers.

Notice that I have all of the required equipment for decorating a cake.

I always have a hard time getting the frosting smooth. I am totally intimidated by fondant, but I might have to give it a try to finally have a really smooth cake.

Before I could really start decorating I had to update the equipment I was using.

Then the fun began.

I thought it looked a lot a Toontown cake. My lettering on top was done way too quickly and with a tired hand and looked pretty bad. I wrote the name of Einstein's main Toon.

Einstein thought the cake totally rocked!
