A VERY Pink Cowgirl Cake

It was kinda quiet in the bakery last week because I was working solo.  My right hand man was outta the country, so I had my work cut out for me.

Here’s a very pink cowgirl cake for 4-year-old Maddie Claire.  She was getting a pony for her birthday, so her mom requested that I incorporate a horse onto the cake.  The final design for this cake was a combination of several different cowgirl cakes that mom had seen online.

I was happy to be able to put together this unique cake that was just perfect for Miss Maddie Claire.  This cake was made using 4”, 6”, and 8” square tiers.  It’s a combination of chocolate and vanilla cakes filled with buttercream icing. The cake is covered with homemade marshmallow fondant. The horse, belt buckle, and ropes are made with fondant, and the bandana print is piped with royal icing.  The cowboy hat is sculpted from rice cereal treats and covered with a fondant/gum paste mix.
