I first have to say thank you to dbranum for the inspiration to try to make her her "Minnie Mouse" cake for my GD birthday party. I have only been caking ,as a hobby ,for 5 months and have been awed by the many outstanding cakes seen on CC. My cake is simple, bottom tier is 3 layers, white, chocolate, white with vanilla BC filling. Top tier is 2 layers white and chocolate with vanilla filling. Tiers undercoat is BC and covered with MMF. The hat is hollow and made with fondant as are the ears. The bow unfortunately turned out a little oversized. As they say trial and error, a few mistakes but have learned a lot. Loved doing this for my GD and the family loved it. TFL
