This was the first time I ever made a cake from scratch, doing a crumb coat, intentional decorating, and making fondant!
Best photo I got of it is above lol.
The icing part was easier and coloring the fondant was leagues more tedious than I had anticipated. Fondant easily took the longest active time I think.
In hindsight, next time I would buy molds and do chocolate shapes I think. They’d probably look much cleaner that way too.
Fully admitting that I used store bought frosting that I whipped to make more spreadable. I know I might get flamed for that but I just didn’t want to take on too many firsts for a cake that was going to be displayed at a party.
Constructive criticism is so welcome!! I would love to know how I can get my frosting job smoother. I also got oreo dust on the pink side, should i have used a parchment paper shield for that?
I also couldn’t figure out how people dust that stuff on without tilting the cake totally to the side!??
I forgot to add raspberries until the next day and i think that noticeable but might add to the messiness look of that side?

I also meant to say piping was hard!! my first attempt ever and you can tell. some was smushed in travel but they weren’t clean to begin with.
Criticism welcomed!!
Looks spectacular!! I absolutely love this idea. I used to love this show when I was younger. Great job!
I would’ve killed for a cake like this as a kid! great work!
I have no critique to offer – I’ll leave to the experts! But this cake is so so so cute, I think it looks darling and hopefully tasted as good as it looks!
Oh my! You did great.
I’m obsessed with this cake! My kids grew up watching this show and this cake is absolutely perfect 😍
So cool!
Super adorable and looks incredibly delicious!
