This is a recent cake that I did for a client who was throwing a Tinkerbell-themed party for her daughter’s 2nd birthday. This is a quarter sheet cake with a white almond batter and vanilla bean buttercream filling. The cake is decorated completely in buttercream. The client wanted the cake to have a depiction of Tinkerbell, suggested some pixie dust, and lots of bright colors. It has been quite awhile since I did a cake completely in buttercream since most of my recent cakes have been all fondant, and I had such a blast decorating this cake. I especially loved how fun the borders were to create with multiple designs and colors. The client loved the cake and I’m sure her little girl enjoyed her Tinkerbell birthday party!

That border looks awesome!! Great job!
Gorgeous! My girls would LOVE to have this cake for their birthday!
Wow! What a brilliant creation!!! It is so perfect in every possible angle I see. Beautiful indeed!
This cake is adorable! I love how you did the multi-color zig zag border, such a cute idea!
This looks great! Is there a recipe for the cake and frosting. I would love to try it!
I agree! I seriously love the border!!!
Way to go! It’s adorable and buttercream is so yummy. Always a hit with the kiddos.
The border looks great? How did you do the tinkerbell in Buttercream?
Hi Todd, I did a piping gel transfer of Tinkerbell from a blank coloring page I printed out. Then I outlined the figure in black buttercream, and used different colors of buttercream to fill in all of the areas.
Once again, beautiful. Are the recipes you used available? The 2 cake that you made with the hammer, what kind is that? I adore that cake. I also read that you took the Wilton classes, what was your experience level prior to taking the classes? I need to take those but wondered how effective they were. Thanks in advance for your response.

Thank you Jennifer! I will be posting about the buttercream next week, so stay tuned! The #2 cake and the hammer cake were both covered in fondant. Prior to taking the Wilton classes I had never decorated a cake in my life
Well, I had FROSTED cakes, but that was the extend of it. I had no prior experience with decorating whatsoever. I thought they were GREAT! I learned a lot.
Would you mind posting the whole recipe and procedure step-by-step, pretty please….thanks!
Hi Ram, I will be posting the buttercream recipe next week, so stay tuned! As far as posting step-by-step directions, I will be sure to do so the next time I make a similar cake. Unfortunately I didn’t stop to take step-by-step pictures while decorating this cake, so I don’t really have a tutorial lined up. I will add it to the list though and work on getting one up soon!
It’s beautiful! I just love how you did the borders, and great color combo!
Love the cake! i had a similar request from my daughter in January. I used the wilton Tinkerbell pan and royal icing for the decorations

I really like your borders, super nice.
Wow…you did a great job with that!!! So cute!
This is such a beautiful cake! I’m sure the little girl loved it! Cake decorating is so much fun
This cake looks gorgeous! I absolutely love it.
Great Job! Love the border – how’d you do that??
I’ve done buttercream transfers of images – that is when you trace the image on a piece of glass then freeze and once frozen you flip it over on the cake – it’s a lot of fun!
Such a lovely cake! Themed parties such as this one are becoming the trend right now for birthdays.
Wow, I love the way you did the top borders! Very innovative!
Wow this cake is just lovely!! Would u be able to email me the buttercream frosting you used?
Thanks!

So pretty! How could a little girl not love this cake?!
I adore the zig zag border and your text on the cake. My writing is still a bit scary, but practice makes perfect! I’m sure this cake made the birthday girl’s day!
I love Hammer Horror. Been a big fan since I was a kid. My bro and I loved the Dracula and Frankenstein movies. I highly recommend some of the more obscure vampire titles such as Vampire Circus, Twins of Evil, and Kiss of the Vampire. They are very enjoyable movies and shouldn’t be missed by Hammer fans even though they don’t star Cushing and Lee.
