It's Jack's Big Music Show!

My daughter had her second birthday in February and she is a HUGE Jack's Big Music Show fan (a show on Nick Jr.).  So, I thought it would be appropriate to make her a JBMS theme cake.  I usually try to incorporate at least one new technique in each cake that I make, so I decided this cake would be a topsy turvy.  It was actually a lot easier to make than I originally thought.  I was very pleased with how it turned out.  I wish I would have had more time to work on the characters, but since I work full-time and only have limited time to make my cakes I had to take some short-cuts to have the cake done before the party.  All in all, I really liked the final product.

Here are some pictures of the cake at various stages of the process and also the finished product.
