First Birthday Cake - Chhota Bheem
The long waited day! Our little naughty cutie pie turned ONE in December and it was very exciting to make his big ONEderful day very special :)
He was very fond of Chhota Bheem soft toys when he was around 6 months old and always curious to look at it's stickers, pictures etc! And the love to it grew with him :) It was easy for us to chose the theme of his first birthday cake but I was a bundle of nerves!! I never did a cake with many shapes , fondant, cream, different layers etc, but 'his' support gave me the confidence to go for it and yes we believe our efforts paid off without much heavy issues.
We planned to bake three cakes with two cakes as the base for the chhota bheem cake at the top. It was indeed nerve racking to place the top layer chhota bheem cake without any distortion to it! And here is how it looked at the end.
I baked three vanilla sponge cake and filled with vanilla butter cream frosting. A crumb coat followed by another layer of frosting and covered with yellow colored fondant. Did the same with the top layer and used a chhota bheem picture to cut out the shape. Other little things like balloons, laddoo, roses, elephant are made using fondant.
