Giant Cupcake Cake!

 This was a last minute order that I was happy to do for a first birthday party!  The request was for a cake that looked like a giant cupcake, in pastel green, pink and purple.  It was vanilla cake with buttercream filling and was covered in fondant.  Polka dots, flowers and the "1" on top are all made of fondant.  As with the hydrangea cake I recently made, I used multiple layers and then carved them to get the correct shape.  For this one, I used several 6" and 8" rounds.  This cake is made up of two parts and the top came off for easier cutting and serving.  I finished it off with a sprinkling of pink lustre dust to give it some shimmer!  I must say, first birthday cakes are always such fun!!!
