Oh to be 21 again…. I surprised my daughter Heaven with this cake for her 21st birthday. Actually we surprised her with a party. We had all her closest friends. Even ones she hadn’t seen in a long time. She texted me a pic of a cake she wanted a few months before her birthday and said “Mom can you make me this cake but a fake one?” Of course I told her yes😜. We didn’t talk about it again after that. So when it came time for her birthday I was like “I’m gonna make my baby her fake cake”. I’ve never done one like this before so I started researching. Turns out it’s not that hard after all. The “cake” is a styrofoam cake covered in fondant and I used putty for the ”frosting” (I just added pink dye to it) and chocolate melts for the drip. I even added glitter to the bottles to make it fancy like my daughter😂. I just happened to find a Brats doll that looked a bit like her too (wrong color eye though). She use to play with Brats dolls when she was little so it seemed more fitting for her. Boy was she surprised not only with the party but that mom remembered she wanted a fake cake and exactly how she wanted it. Score one for mom😂😂. I did make cookies and cream cupcakes for all the party guests which are her favorite. So yes there was still “cake” technically 😜.
