I followed the same process for the number 5 on the top of the cake, except I let it dry flat. Once cut, I placed each layer on the side of a fondant bucket so that it was slightly rounded when it dried. I found that the best method was to roll the fondant thin using a pasta machine, lay it flat on a cutting board, and use an exacto knife to cut out the shape. On the other print-out, I cut out the PAW letters and the bone shape. On one copy, I cut out the outer shield shape, then the inner shield. To minimize the amount of cutting and printing I’d need to do, I worked from the outside in, and managed to only print the full logo twice. That’s not to say I didn’t spend hours on fondant work! The Paw Patrol logo was cut in several layers based on a logo drawing grabbed from a drawing site. I also kept it relatively simple – I knew that while he would be thrilled with an elaborate fondant display, using toys that he could keep would be way more exciting in the long run. Since it was a family-only party, I decided to go with a 6″ round cake pans, which made just the right amount of cake for a smaller party. This year’s theme was Paw Patrol, and just like last year, he requested Funfetti cake with lemon icing! Killer combo! □ Usually my sister-in-law and I will tackle baking the cake together, but since we needed to cakes, I handled the one for family, and she did took care of the one for his friends. He’s turning five this year, so he’s actually having two parties – one for family, and one for his friends. Every year, I bake a cake for my nephew’s birthday.
