This cake was for a little girl turning...
3 obviously :)
She loves Super Why! and the party was going to be pink and purple for Princess Presto. The figures below are frozen buttercream transfers, which is an awesome technique that would be terrific for every mom to learn. You can basically replicate any coloring book or downloaded picture in buttercream and then apply it to your cake... just imagine the possibilities! So much better than grabbing a generic white cake and Wal-Mart and plunking some expensive figurines into the icing - I mean, that totally works, too - but some of these new cartoons don't even have figurines yet. The buttercream transfers can also be made well ahead of time and kept in your freezer until you need them, which can help with last minute party stress. Liam's party is in two weeks, so I'll try to post a tutorial while I'm working on his cupcake toppers - -they will be buttercream freezer transfers of the Mario Brothers characters. So much more delicious than fondant toppers.

Hi there!
I'm an aspiring amateur cake person, too! Wondering if you could fill me in on those buttercream cake transfers you talked about??? If the characters aren't available, I usually end up ordering edible images from a lady I've ordered from many a time---these sound pretty cool! Great job on the cakes by the way!
