Webkinz Birthday Cake (Mikayla's 7th Birthday)

With all the craziness around here I'm only a month late on getting this post out!!! Anyway, this is the first of two separate posts about Mikayla's 7th birthday party, this one for the cake and the next for the party itself.

The party was "rainbow" themed in colour, so the cake had to follow suit! I remembered a cake I had seen on Pinterest (but unfortunately had not re-pinned at the time) with rainbow coloured layers - perfect for this party. Fortunately I found this recipe on-line to make the rainbow cake, and it came out beautiful and delicious!! Seriously, the best part about this cake was the inside.


The cake design was inspired by Mikayla's own Webkinz pets: Tuffy, the black and white cat, Hippy the blue hippo, and Pandy the panda (who is actually Gavin's). The second design inspiration came from one of the Webkinz games we played at the party, "Operation Gumball". Both colourful and Webkinz related, a win-win for this party! FYI, All the "gumballs" on the cake are made of fondant.
Funny story about this cake... We nearly didn't have time to eat the cake, and had to shove it at the kids as their parents were arriving to pick them up!!
