I spent a majority of this past week working on a birthday cake for Gavin's friend, Tucker. He is turning two on Sunday and his parents threw him a Mickey Mouse themed birthday party tonight. The cake was a lot of fun to make and, I think, turned out really cute!! Tucker's mom asked for the cake to be traditional Mickey Mouse meets Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (the show on the Disney channel). This is the design I came up with. The hat was chocolate flavored cake and the bottom tier was white cake. I made colorful "gears" from the Clubhouse theme and placed them all around the back of the bottom tier. I kept with Mickey's original hat theme for the cake topper. Tucker was very excited to see his cake and Gavin was excited to finally get to eat it-- he's been staring at it in our kitchen all day! Tucker's mom also made LOTS of cupcakes to have in addition to the cake!
Gavin had a blast playing in the backyard at Tucker's house with all the other kids. Tucker got a playhouse for his birthday that has lots of gadgets all around it (a gas station, basketball goal, indoor kitchen, windows, doors, etc). Gavin was in and out of that thing all evening. By the way, can you tell Gavin got a hair cut? It is sooo short compared to what it's normally been, but we like it. He looks much older and like a true toddler.
