CIRCUS BIRTHDAY CAKE

When Jade turned 4 last year, she wanted a Flamingo cake. This year she picked a Circus theme for her 5th birthday party. A bit of a challenge, but all worked out well!

Ideas that I put together were all based on a circus - there are shows, surprises, animal and a lot of colours. That's what I put into the cake.

Base and main cake were made from a chocolate cake with rainbow buttercream icing. Then I made a smaller chocolate cake and cut a circus tent shape out of it, took the inside out and hid M&M's inside the cake. The whole cake was decorated with fondant sugar icing which I used for clown, monkey and lion too. Topped with a sparkling number 5 to complete the show!!

No need to talk about chocolate cupcakes with rainbow icing - they disappeared in minutes.
