Two Cakes and a Fairy

My baby sister loves Tinker Bell.  Always has.  She just turned seventeen.  She did not request this cake.  I could not resist.  Every girl should have a doll cake for her birthday and every baby sister deserves a Tinker Bell cake.  ESPECIALLY if your last name is, well, Bell. And even more especially if you have already enjoyed an Bella and Edward tribute cake (did I mention she is a teenager?  And that her Twilight obsession was SO two years ago!?).  And if your birthday is in in January, Tinker Bell should be dressed in a winter weather appropriate gown.  I should mention that I patted my own back for up-cycling the leftover snowflakes from K’s wedding and making them accents for our cute little fairy (the cake one, not my sister.  She is sweet, but I would not call her “cute little fairy.”  She is after all, seventeen.)  I tried out a new recipe for a homemade Sprinkle-fetti vanilla cake.  It needs to be tweaked.  That is all I will say about that.  The End.  And because my brother-in-law has a birthday the day after my sister’s, and because we celebrate them  together, I chose to NOT make him share the doll cake (You’re welcome Dan).  For him, I made a chocolate cake with whipped ganache, fresh strawberries and chocolate dipped strawberries around the edge.  Happy Birthday to them and happy cake eating for all of us!
