Nothing special I admit I used a boxed cake recipe the Springtime Funfetti one by Pillsbury.
But what made it special was the Wiltons cake pan that I used, the ballerina bear to be exact.
Then I piped frosting onto the cake to decorate the raised design as well.
Ingredients
Recipe for 2 layer cake or 2 boxes of cake mix (be prepared to have a cookie sheet underneath to catch drippings)
1 can of frosting (about 12-16 oz)
2 bottles of wiltons canned decorator frosting (the kind int he aerosol can w/decorator tips included) I had a pink and a white one
food coloring or however bottle of mini gel frosting for drawing the face features.
Shortening and flour to grease the pan
1 wiltons cake pan!
Grease the pan with shortening leaving no shiny spots behind then dust with flour, make cake according to package directions and pour into pan.
Bake until toothpick inserted comes out clean at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
When done baking take pan out and set on cooling rack for 15-20 minutes to cool.
Remove cake according to the directions in the wiltons pan booklet (this comes with the pan)
Let cool for another 30 minutes once set right side up.
Frost the sides of cake with a solid color, then take the star tip of your icing decorators and ice in the design according to the pattern directions.
I took 2 days to do this so that the frosting had time to set in between colors so they would not run together or smear.
