1st birthday cake

Baby Girl

I made this cake when our little girl had her first birthday. The little blond pigtails were an inspiration when I put pigtails in her hair one day. Here's how I made the cake.

Form:
Wilton Baby Bear Cake Pan
Pigtails: straws covered in frosting (toothpicks would work but make sure they don't get eaten)
Pastry Tip #825 star

Make the cake according to box instructions (or from scratch).
Once cake has cooled, cut the ears off and give to the baby to keep her busy while you frost the cake.

Icing was box icing colored with icing colors and piped on with a disposable pastry bag.

This is a pretty easy cake to make and gets a lot of oohs and aahs from grandparents and such at a first birthday party.
