This post was long due. Due to some reason or the other, I haven't been blogging for sometime now.
This is a Diego theme cake that I made for my son's birthday last month. This was my first decorated cake on a large scale.
I used the Pillsbury ready cake mix for the cake.
This was a 4-layered cake with filling at each layer made with whipped cream, sugar, chopped cherries and pineapple.
For the icing also I used whipped cream and confectioners sugar blended with different colors and chocolate ganache for the path.
Yes, my little one was pleased with it and everyone liked it too.
Too bad I couldn't get a picture of the slice.
P.S: The marks on the path are the animal footprints which I placed intentionally after my son reminded me that they were missing. He said Diego will now follow the footprints and rescue the Jaguar :)....
