Micky mouse cake

This is my first cartoon cake !!!

I made this cake for his birth day.

I don't have black colour at that time , so i replaced black with blue.

The Cake tasted really good and my cousins liked it so much :)

For the cake i used basic sponge cake .

Ingredients :

For Frosting :

Unsalted Butter : 250 grams
Icing sugar (or) powdered sugar : 500 grams
Vanilla extract : 1 tsp
Food colouring

Method :

For Butter cream Frosting :

Butter should be at room temperature.
Take the butter out from fridge couple of hours before.
Take a bowl, add butter and icing sugar.
Use hand whisk or electric whisk.
(if you use hand whisk it will take a little bit more time then the electric one)
I used electric whisk.
Turn whisk on and mix the mixture in low speed to make sure not to blast all the icing sugar until it start to combine. After it starts to combine keep whisk in high and beat it till it is light and fluffy for 2 to 3 mins.
When you see colour is slightly pale and the consistency is creamy, then add tsp of vanilla extract and whisk it again for one minute.
Your vanilla flavoured cake frosting is ready.
If you want to make coloured frosting, then add few drops of food colouring and then whisk again for half minute or so.
You can add other natural extracts to get other flavours such as lemon, orange, or rose.
You can store this frosting in fridge as long as your butter lasts.
When you need it take out from fridge couple of hour before to get back to room temperature and mix it up once and it is ready to use.

Cake preparation :

I prepared 3 different colours of frosting - yellow, pink and blue , keeping aside some white frosting.
I made one big cake for face and two small rounds for ears.
Chill the cake for one hour before you are working to reduce the number are crumbs.
(Only if you have domes on cakes , chill it other wise you can skip it).
Remove the domes and do the crumb coat.
Crumb coat is especially needed for any cake that has cut edges when you put a thin layer of frosting over the entire thing it will seal in all the crumbs so your final coat is really clean. Keep it in fridge for 1/2 hour.
Take the cake and put lot of frosting and flatten it with cake spatula (or) angle spatula.
Take a bowl with hot water and clean the spatula in that water while applying frosting.
First cover top and then go for sides.
If you want even more soft flatten surface let it dry for 5 to 10 minutes, take a kitchen paper towel and care fully smooth it out.
Take a non stick baking paper or a cover and make a small cone with it and fill in some white frosting into it , and make a out line with that.
Your cake is ready to use.
