This cake was for a 2 year old birthday party at a local pizza/game/prizes venue. The idea of having their favorite cartoon character on their cake settles all decisions for the party, and everything else falls into place after that considering this is the only piece of decoration to personalize your childs cake at one of these venues.
Now I personally like the cakes for kids that have the miniatures, because whats the first thing they do after the candles are blown out..... they lick the icing off the bottom of each piece - wax and all.
It's great!
Now the only "so called problem" about these cakes are finding the miniatures. If you could find it at your local Wal-Mart, Target, or Toys R' Us that would be ok. But I find myself grabbing them from AMAZON.COM, And this leads to shipping charges. You may find cheaper prices but the shipping gets you in the end.
Houston TX. is one of the largest cities nationwide and the only cake supply store I have found is MAKE-A-CAKE. Its a relatively small store but they carry larger sizes and pans that I cannot always find at my local Hobby Lobby or Michael's which also carries cake supplies. Me being located North of Houston is the biggest problem. They are located in Southwest Houston.
All-in-all I can normally find exactly what I'm looking for whether it's on-line or across town.
