It is Lilianna's 1st birthday! YAY! First birthday parties are always more about the parents than the children. Seriously, will a 1-year-old remember their cake? Probably not, but that won't stop the parents from trying to get a sublime cake. Today's 'Sublime Cake' takes the form of Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street.
I truly enjoy making little gum-paste characters. Unfortunately, the first one I made for this cake had a little fall, and is currently warming a dumpster :( That's okay, that just means more work ... or play, depending on how you look at it.
Anyway, this two tier Chocolate cake had just the right amount of magic and sparkle to it to make it special. Now, off to get my party-mama on! (I hate that show). Here's to cake, ice-cream, children, and very proud parents!

What a cute cake!!!
Thank you SO much Meg!! Everyone loved the cake!! :)
Wow it looks fantastic! I love the colours, the little Abby figure is perfect.
Your Abby is EXCELLENT!!! Seriously...I tried making one of those before. And I have almost no talent in the gumpaste figure making category to begin with...and somehow it got worse with Abby. But yours is spot on perfect!!
Holy moly! I just found your blog and am loving looking through all your gorgeous cakes. If you get a chance, I'd love for you to link this up to my Not "Baaad" (get it?) blog hop, which features a competition for the Best in Show award :)
Amazing cake!

You are a great baker and decorator! HB to the sweet little girl of yours! Do you know any good recipes for cupcakes made with a traditional wedding cake recipe?

I am sure your sweetie had a blast on her first birthday. The cake certainly should have caught her eye. Nice job.
What a great cake, I am so jealous, I can't decorate a cake to save my hiney...lol. I try and fail always, but yours look great.
