1st Birthday Garner




Nursery is Dr.Seuss and being a December birthday, this little man's theme was The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. I often search for ideas and pictures on-line to jump start my ideas, but there were not any Grinch cakes out there! I decided to delve into the books themselves and draw it out on paper. The 1st level was spearmint leaf gummies spread out and cut to make into evergreens. The 2nd level was the Who-ville village made out of domino sugar cubes, sugar wafers and other candy. The top was a Grinch and Dog figure that I added a mazipan sleigh, gifts, rails, etc to finish it off. The cake is an optical illusion to make it look as though it is leaning.
