My other nephew's Birthday is next week... and this is my practice with royal icing before that big project comes! For this one he asked me for a chocolate Mickey Mouse cake. I'm not sure what possessed me to cover a chocolate cake with white icing... but it wasn't smart. I did a layer of icing and then put the whole cake in the freezer to firm up then I recovered with another layer to hide all of the chocolate crumbs. I know he likes icing so I'm sure he wont mind. I did the Mickey on top and sides out of royal icing. I printed out a picture of him online and covered with a piece of wax paper then piped Mickey's outline with a piping bag onto the wax paper. Next, I filled in the sections with thinned out royal icing in the appropriate colors. I did the same with the Mickey icons on the side. Then was the big moment... was Mickey going to actually come off the parchment without breaking into a million pieces? I said a little prayer and was pleasantly surprised to find out they all came off with relative ease. I then applied the Mickeys and surrounded the cake with one of his favorites, jelly beans!
