This chocolate full body Mickey Mouse cake was made for a
little boy's second birthday. I cut out
most of my cakes free handed, but I have a ton of cake pans clients
occasionally want, so when this client wanted Mickey Mouse I related that I had
a full body Mickey Mouse pan and a Mickey Mouse head only pan. She chose the full body Mickey Mouse pan with
the full understanding that I would have to adapt my 1978 vintage Mickey Mouse
cake pan to be recognizable for a two year old!
The biggest challenge was the vintage Mickey not having a hand, so I
tried to make it look like Mickey's hand was behind his back. I like how it turned out, but I think if I
did this again, I would free hand draw Mickey's hand on his hip. Mickey's face is my favorite part because I
think I free handed that spot on and it was easily the most fun to draw. The final cost for Mickey is below:
Buttercream icing per batch: $2.55 x 2.5 = $6.38
Chocolate Cake: $1.93
Wrapping and Plating $4.88
Labor: $6 per hour x 4.25 = $25.50
Total: $38.69
