Rocking Horse Cake

The cake itself is a butter cake. I thought this the best cake to make as it is for a 1 year old's birthday.

I actually hired a rocking horse tin, so the shape was easy.

I then mixed up some white butter cream and tinted it the appropriate colours. I also added vanilla extract, as i find the icing to be bland.

All the flowers and leaves were piped out and frozen, then individually placed onto the cake.

I wanted this first birthday cake to be unique and something that we would remember and be able to show her when she got older.

I also made tiny cupcakes in the same cake mix and icing. I decorated them with cutout rocking horses and 1's.
