This is a tiered cake made with a vanilla butter 10-inch, strawberry 8-inch and chocolate half-sports ball pan. It is frosted in buttercream icing and covered in mmf. The bows and mouse ears were made from mmf a couple of days in advance to allow them time to dry. The ears have a wire frame that rests just inside the outer edge of the circles and has a stem at the bottom that fits into the cake to hold it in place (the wires are stuck into straws to keep them from being directly in the cake). The bow on top is stuck on with 2 toothpicks and some candy glue (melted marshmallow fondant and water). The mouse heads on the bottom tier were cut using a 1 1/2 inch circle for the head and 1/2 inch circle for the ears. The bows were applied with candy glue and hide the seams where the ears meet the head. Happy Birthday Autumn!
