… birthday in a HOT AIR ballon.

My daughter is 6 month old today, I already plan for her 1st Birthday.  She likes looking at the picture of a cow with a red barn behind her rocking chair.  I know that would be perfect theme for her 1st birthday.  Instead of the a bunch of animals having a blast in a barn, I want to take them up for a hot air balloon ride.  Here is sketch her birthday cake.

Feel free to make this cake before I do, but don’t forget to send me some pictures.  I would like to know how you interpret my sketch.

To make this HOT AIR balloon cake assembly, you’ll need:

  • 2 or 3 layer of basket-weave cakes – 9″ would be ideal.  You may substitute the cake with dummy cake.  You can do the basket-weave with icing or fondant.  If you like shortcut, use a real basket; put foam or cabbage inside as a base to stick your cake-pops

Different style of basket-weave
