Cruella Birthday Cake

Skill level: Intermediate

Bring your punk rock fashionistas to this party, we're making a Cruella birthday cake! I got the chance to make this cake for an artistic little girl that's really into the new Disney movie and I had a blast making this.

This cake features a flowing edible red dress, newsprint graffiti, and a polka dot patterned cake inside, making the cake slices really stand out and be dalmatian-themed. This cake will knock the socks off your guests and inspire youngsters to explore their fashion interests.

Please note: the arcylic Cruella cake topper is not part of this tutorial. You can get the downloadable template to make it here (scroll to the bottom and click on the 'free download' button)
