"Maybe she's born with it, Maybe it's........"
I was asked to do a make up/photo shoot cake for a little girl named Maybel.
This cake was begging to be all about pink, green and Maybelline. As luck would have it those colours just happen to be the party colours as well.
6" and 8" chocolate caramel cake with vanilla butter cream, chocolate ganache and Skor chocolate bar pieces. |

And what good is a vanity unless it lights up??? I had so much fun despite the intense amount of mathematics this took to make symmetrical. |
Box assembled and has to dry some more. |
Bulbs all glued in place and evenly spaced. My math nightmare :) |
Turned out great even though it did take some patience to have them all sticking out the same distance. |
Hubba Bubba time!!! I read somewhere you could shape it and was waiting for a chance to try it. |
There are 12 little party girls so each gets a bubble gum treat. |
Fondant polaroid films to enhance the photo aspect of the cake. |
Lip stencil for airbrushing the top tier. |
Using the stencil. |
Lower tier with supports. I inserted the straw to clear the way for another straw that will act as the housing for the vanity wiring. |
Straw clearing the cake through the cake board. |
Power supply for lights running through the centre of the cake. |
Power supply disguised as a girly camera. This was tricky as the on/off level had to be exposed for use. |
My inspiration for the cake colours. I also incorporated it on the cake with a Happy Birthday message. |
Top tier with airbrushed lips and Happy Birthday mascara. |
