Hot Pink & Black Mustache Cake

A Hot Pink & Black Mustache Cake.  That’s an odd combination, huh?   I honestly don’t remember the details for this theme.   I think it was a 16th birthday party… maybe?

You see recently my laptop was broken again and since getting it back, I’ve been restoring and organizing my thousands of photos.  I discovered that I still have a few cakes from 2014 that I haven’t shared and while I decided to skip over a lot of them, this is one that I really liked and wanted to publish.

Oh, and in case you didn’t notice, I totally flopped on the Write 31 Days Challenge (today is Day 18).  You can read about my weekend here, here and here.   Bottom line… I was incredibly busy and enjoying some precious time with my best friend and her family and well… my writing just flew out the window.

But I’m back – and although it’s late, I’m going to share a cake…

Hot Pink & Black Mustache Cake

Here are the details…

• First, this cake was 6″ and 8″ round tiers, baked in my favorite Magic Line pans.
• It was chocolate cake with cookies & cream filling.
• Then the fondant was homemade marshmallow fondant, except the black was Satin Ice.

• The mustaches were cut with this cutter/plunger set.
• I used Americolor Electric Pink to get the bright, bright pink.
• I cut the stripes with one of my most favorite tools… this ribbon cutter.
• I hand-rolled the balls for the border.

• I have a tutorial for ribbon borders here… but no tutorial for that bow yet.  🙁

I think that’s all I can tell ya!  Did I leave anything out?  Leave me a comment and I’ll get back to you if I can!
