Hannah Montana's Shooting Stars

This week was the week of 6 cakes! It was so much fun and exhausting at the same time. The first cake to go out was Olivia's 5th birthday cake. She loves Hannah Montana and her mom, Sophie, was going all out for this party. Along with this cake, Olivia was getting a personalized Hannah Montana dress and party. Pretty sweet, if you ask me! To celebrate the occasion, the top cake was a Buttery Yellow Cake layered with chocolate buttercream and the bottom tier was a Rainbow Bright Cake (sweet vanilla cake dyed three different colors to match the design and then layered with buttercream and sprinkles). Everything on this cake is edible with the exception of the wires holding up the stars. If you know anything about Hannah Montana, you might recognize the purple guitar and the Happy Birthday Banner on top that's modeled after the Hannah Montana logo. I did a similar cake to this one a while back and Sophie loved it so much that she wanted something similar. We added the microphone in the middle tier because Olivia loves to sing. Although she was shy, I think Olivia was excited about it all :)

In order to make the shooting stars, I cut out stars from fondant at least two or three nights before the cake is due. I immediately slide a thin wire (I use flower wire) into the stars and then simply let them dry until I put them into the cake. It's very simple but gives it an extra something.
