Wonderland.



               Early this last week, I was told that there would be an Alice in Wonderland party on Saturday. Naturally, when I hear the word party, I start brainstorming ideas to make cakes/cupcakes/sweets that fit within the theme. This time the cake was based off of my favorite character in the books and classic Disney movie- the Cheshire Cat! While I was making Cheshy, I had an idea to make little Mome Raths to go with him, so that's what those little guys are.

                Looks wise, I wasn't quite happy with the eyes and mouth that I made out of candy melts, other than that, I loved the swirled inside and the piping came out alright. The taste makes this cake one of my new favorite recipes! It's an almond white cake (found here). I wasn't as please with the vanilla buttercream, but everyone else seemed to like it.

                  The swirl effect is something I've done once before, also for an Alice in Wonderland party.
