For Avalon's birthday this year, we went full Animal Crossing! Avalon loves Animal Crossing so much that we just had to have an Animal Crossing-themed cake, complete with fun stylized island floating in an ocean of jelly goodness.
This cake was so much fun to make, adding all the fishies and island details. I'm really happy with out it turns out and I'm so excited to show you the step-by-step process to create this for your next fun island party!
Please Note: The house is a 3D-printed object, not part of the tutorial but available for purchase from a 3rd-party Etsy creator.
