3D cake

Have you ever had to make a cake and you're stumped because you feel like you keep making the same cakes over and over and OVER again?  We have 12 kids in the family so that equates to a lot of cakes made over the years and I want each one to either be exactly what they asked for or something a little bit special. 

Which brings me to Alivia's last cake.  She was very indecisive.  Imagine that for a 4 year old.  All she said was that she wanted a pink cake. 

She added later that she wanted her Strawberry Shortcake dolls on top.  I decided to get a little funky and create the chocolate cake toppers freehand.  This was the end result.  She loved it.
