Mini Cake

My mom made a cake and she said that I could have the leftover pieces to make a mini cake that she cut off to level the cake. I took those cake pieces and I crumbled them into tiny bits. I mixed them with frosting and shaped them, by putting them into 2 cups lined with plastic wrap.

  Next, I put my "cakes" into the freezer for a little bit. When they were firm, I took them out and frosted them together. I also put a crumb coat on the outside. Back in the freezer for a couple hours.


        The last part was the fun part- decorating!! Here's my finished product.  A cute mini cake. Of course, I used my cake stands and it looked great.
    This is something young kids can do all by themselves. I hope you make this and enjoy it!

Simple Mini Cake Stands DIY

      This is a simple mini cake stand that took me only about 5 min to make.
  

    I just taped a plastic cup to a cardboard disc and covered it with tin foil.
Next time I will post my mini cake to go with my cake stand.
This mini cake stand goes really well with fancy looking cakes because it's plain, but it will help your cake stand out more.
