Girls’ Birthday Party cakes – Magic Marker Best Shot Monday
Hosted by “Tracy” at “Mother May I,” but the photo-picture below will whizz you right there with one click.
Just call me snap happy.
A selection of random cakes as it’s too tricky to get them all in the right order.
Now all the fun stuff is over and we’ve graduated to boring old grown up cakes.
Here’s the recipe for the Peppermint Ice frosting underneath:-
Peppermint Buttercream Frosting
1 cup (2 sticks) butter
4-5 cups powdered [Icing] sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon all natural peppermint extract
Beat butter until creamy, scrape bowl.
Add 4 cups of sifted powdered, milk, and peppermint extract, beat until combined.
Taste and add more peppermint extract until it tastes strong or weak enough. And yes, you’re quite right, it’s vile, tastes just like toothpaste.

Maddy, these are absolutely awesome. Completely amazing. Do people really EAT them? I’d sooner deface something in a museum!
Yet another way in which you are extraordinary.
Merry Christmas!

I hate cake [except carrot cake without any frosting] The decorations are pure sugar – no-one could pay me enough to eat any of it!

Those are amazing cakes. I love peppermint. Can’t wait to try the recipe out!

Those are quite the cakes but even the boring adult one doesn’t look bad to me!
I don’t care for cakes with incredibly sweet frosting, though, it makes my teeth hurt just thinking about them!

Oh my gosh, I am NOT posting pictures of my cakes. I feel like such a failure, looking at these!

Wow, Maddy! Those are amazing! You’re just a wizard with fondant, aren’t you?
I was thinking that the peppermint frosting sounded quite lovely with a chocolate cake, but then you went and cracked me up with your toothpaste comment…
