My house is a total zoo and I have at least a million things going on today, but I really really wanted to share a cake and not just the Costco deal today.  So, here’s my quick cake post… it’s another Circus Train Cake with Animals!

I say “another” because this cake falls into that Sweet Repeats category on Facebook…. it’s a cake I’ve done before and shared details about.  The biggest change to this cake from the original is the color scheme – and even that is not a huge change.    I just muted the colors a tiny bit so that they were more “primary” and not so bright!

I also used my smaller Play-Doh letter cutters since John Grady’s name was longer than the name on the first cake!

Everybody knows I’m not a photographer, but if you want to see some really amazing photos of this cake and the entire party (done at the Ag Museum), please go over and visit Rebecca Jex Photography.  And if you’re here in Mississippi and looking for a photographer – be sure to consider her!  Her pictures are amazing and I’m hoping one day I can take photos half as good as hers!!

This cake was all vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling.  It was covered and decorated with homemade marshmallow fondant.   Except the black and red… it was Satin Ice Black Vanilla fondant and Satin Ice Red Vanilla fondant.    You can see how to do the stars on wires here and how I make fondant number toppers here.

And that’s all I’ve got for you!  I’m off to wash dishes and fold laundry and do all that other stuff that falls under the title of homeschooling mommy to 6 busy, dirty kiddos ;)

Do you have any questions about this cake?  Or maybe you just wanna say hi!  I love questions and comments so please leave one!
