One of the girls was Mickey Mouse's biggest fan and the other didn't have anything that really interested her yet. I googled "Mickey Mouse Cake" and came across a picture quite similar to mine...on a less cool plate. I thought, "this looks pretty easy", so I ordered a Mickey pan off of ebay. It didn't come with instructions so I had to download them.
After studying them, I took a trip to Michaels and got some frosting colors, tips, and frosting bags. I was nervous, but figured they're only two and you can't really screw up Mickey Mouse...that bad.
Still not knowing what kind of cake to make for the other girl, I pooled my resources....same colors, same tips, same pan, and whala! Minnie Mouse!
