Oh, Mickey You're So Fine!

A co-worker of mine asked me to make her a cake for a very special birthday. Her husband, lover of all things Disney, is turning 60 years young! Because this is such a special birthday, I wanted to make her and her family a cake that they will remember. When I asked her what kind of cake she wanted, she had me at one word: MICKEY. As a die-hard lover of all things Disney myself (I have been going to Disney World almost every other year since I was 5), I was super excited to start on this cake.

She asked for a classic yellow cake with chocolate frosting (the birthday man's favorite). As for the design of the cake, I went red for Mickey's shorts (complete with 2 white buttons and a butt flap <3), yellow trim, and the iconic mickey ears cap on top. I also included the patch on the hat, but personalized it for the birthday man!

I hope I made Disney lovers and Mickey Mouse, himself, proud with this cake!
