A “Saint-sational” Cake

What little girl doesn’t love cheerleaders?

For her sixth birthday, Cassie requested a Saintsation cake.  After playing around with a couple of ideas in my head, I decided to look through some of the shaped character pans that I’ve inherited from friends and family.  Maybe one of those pans could be altered a bit to work for Cassie’s cake.  As it turned out, I found a clown pan that I thought might work.  The clown was waving with one hand, and in his other hand he held a bouquet of balloons.  He was also wearing a pointed hat.  Hmmm… How could this work for me?

I’ve got it!  I’ll change the balloons to a pompom and the hat to a ponytail.  Instead of a goofy clown suit, I’ll adorn my girl with a fleur-de-lis tank top.  Perfect!

I was quite surprised with how easy this cake came together for me, and I loved the results.  It was just as I had envisioned it.  So cute and sweet.  Just like little Cassie!

This was a two-layer white cake, filled with chocolate icing and decorated completely with buttercream.  It served approximately 30.
