Here’s a look at the “It’s a Small World” Cake I made in October 2016. It’s a two-tier fondant covered cake with a 360-degree design around the bottom tier made of a bunch of fondant cutouts in the style of the “It’s a Small World” castle at Disneyland. I thought this was such a lovely, unique theme! Just think about the awesome backdrop & fun props you can use to decorate! The bottom tier was an 8″ hazelnut cake with Nutella buttercream. The top tier was a 6″ ube purple yam cake with ube buttercream.
Client review:
“Thank you so much Joy! The cake was such a hit andeveryone loved it ? It definitely completed mia’s birthday theme!”

I got into baking in 2013 when I decided to tackle my eldest son, Nathaniel’s first birthday cake, and the rest was history. Here I am about two and a half years later making my youngest son, Benji’s first birthday cake! This time I wanted to make a three-tier fondant cake, which I haven’t done before using larger pans. The top tier is a 6″, middle is an 8″, bottom tier is a 10″; total servings are 60.
Benji’s birthday is the day before Valentine’s Day, so that being a holiday week was already an extremely busy baking week for me! I ended up having to do all of the decorating the night before his party, rather than spreading out the fondant prep a couple days ahead like I usually do. I made the cake sketch based on a few inspiration “Little Man” themed cakes I liked from Pinterest, but also applied my color scheme. It seemed simple enough, but in the end, I had to pull an all-nighter! AHH! I hadn’t done such a feat since my college days cramming for finals! In the end, I made it all work by making some changes based on looks and time, and I was able to get it done! I was really happy with the final look, even though there were a few elements I would change if I had more time.
I can’t believe my “littlest man” Benji is already ONE! This year flew by so fast! I hope to share these memorable birthday moments singing to my boys as a family surrounding their special cakes that Mommy stayed up all night making them…and that’s okay. It doesn’t bother me, I have a great coverup for the dark circles under my eyes. I would do anything for my babies!
