I played around with cutting out tongue pieces and in the end, I thought the ice skate looked most realistic by sculpting the fondant a bit with a knife; sometimes the simplest technique is the best. Lay the tongue piece on top of the fondant ice skate cake topper and trace lightly with a knife — and be sure to avoid cutting all the way through the topper. Now roll a little bit of white fondant into a skinny rope. Cut pieces of the fondant rope and wiggle into the laces. Repeat until the entire ice skate cake topper is fully laced up. Sanding sugar is a really easy and pretty way to decorate birthday cakes. First, you’ll want to ice your cakes. I usually make the Cakegirls buttercream recipe but because the sanding sugar is also sweet I wanted to use a less-sweet buttercream recipe. I used this buttercream icing recipe, but I have to say, you could probably find a better one out there that tastes less like butter. I highly recommend baking the birthday cake layers in advance and freeze them until you’re ready to decorate which is what I do with all of my easy birthday cake ideas. As usual, I baked the Cakegirls vanilla cake recipe which I think tastes amazing and is a special once-a-year birthday treat. Follow their instructions twice to make two 8-inch round birthday cakes and two 9-inch square birthday cakes. Elise helped make her own cake a couple of weeks in advance, and we froze the birthday cake layers until closer to her birthday party. You can easily make a simple cake using a rectangle pan then edge with mini marshmallows to make this cute cake.

If you’re adding sanding sugar like I did, you’ll want to make a less sweet icing recipe or else the birthday cake will be way too sweet. I thought this icing recipe was OK but you may want to find another not-so-sweet icing recipe. Here’s how the cake looks with just the sanding sugar. You could really stop here and have a nice, pretty 10th birthday cake. As a huge fan of anything coconut, this snow ball themed cake is one of my favorite cakes on this list! Keep brushing on the silver luster dust until it’s solid silver. Then let it dry completely. Be careful not to bump it while it’s drying or you’ll need to touch up some places.
