How to make a Ballerina tutu topper

If a royal theme party is not your thing and your little girl loves ballet so much, why not throw a Ballet theme party instead?=)


Remember my friend Globelle?  She planned to surprise her daughter Ashley, who is so into ballet, with a ballerina themed party.

She has performed onstage with Prima Ballerina Lisa Macuja-Elizalde already.
She wanted a ballet shoes topper and I was thinking of a tutu dress.
Tutu, ballet shoes, tutu, ballet shoes....
Who's is the customer here?!
I decided to make both.


Here's what you will need :



A ballerina figure for the cake. 
 

Now they are ready to go on top of your prepared cake and cuppies.

Enjoy!

How to Make Minnie Mouse Topper

Aside from Hello Kitty, the most number of cake inquiries I get are either of Mickey or Minnie Mouse.
The first time I made a Mickey Mouse clubhouse theme , I just eyeballed everything.

Mickey looked like it was going to fall and Pluto didn't look like Pluto at all.=)

I was almost sure Mickey would tire of his position and eventually lie down. haha
 I was just starting then - no formal training at all - just playing around, trying out stuff I can do with fondant.
Now I am more confident with all the articles, tutorials, blogs I read on the world wide web - thank God for internet!=)


Just recently I was asked to do a Minnie Mouse theme cake and I figured, why not make a tutorial on how I made the topper.

***Sorry for the poor quality of the images, it was hard having to take pictures of every step I did.

So here goes.....

1.  Fondant colors you will need.
2. Legs and shoes
3. Body
  4. Arms
5. Head/Face

6.  Eyes - this part I am not quite satisfied.  If I would do this again, I'd straighten the bottom part of the eyes, lower the eyeballs a little more and attach the whole thing (eyes a teeny bit closer to each other ) just above the nose. ( Get it?...good )
Minnie looked surprised here....tsk, tsk,,,eyes too round and far from each other.
So there....but without the ribbon, it might be mistaken for Mickey ( wearing Minnie's dress ).



Next time I'll post a tutorial on how to make ribbon/bows.=)

Enjoy!
