Preparing the Cake Batter
Mixing the Ingredients
Start by following the instructions on your cake mix box or preparing your homemade cake batter. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until you achieve a smooth consistency.
Baking the Cake Layers
Divide the batter evenly between your cake pans and bake according to the instructions. Once baked, allow the cake layers to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Creating Minnie Mouse Decorations
Making Fondant Ears
Take a portion of black fondant and roll it out to a thin layer. Use a round cutter to create the ears. Let them dry for a few hours or until firm.
Shaping Fondant Bow
For Minnie’s signature bow, roll out pink fondant and cut out two bow shapes. Pinch the center to create the bow shape and let it dry alongside the ears.
Assembling the Cake
Layering the Cake
Place one cake layer on your cake stand or turntable and spread a layer of buttercream frosting on top. Continue layering until all cake layers are stacked.
Frosting the Cake
Cover the entire cake with a thin layer of buttercream frosting to create a smooth base for the fondant decorations.
Decorating the Cake
Placing Minnie Mouse Decorations
Carefully place the fondant ears on the top of the cake and position the bow in the center. Use additional frosting to secure them in place.
Adding Final Touches
Get creative with edible glitter, sprinkles, or additional fondant decorations to personalize your Minnie Mouse cake. Consider adding her iconic polka dots or a fondant silhouette of Minnie herself.
