Mickey Mouse Club House Cake

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cake

This cake I made from three parts. The cake itself, buttercream frosting and fondant that I made from scratch myself.

None of these were overly strenuous. I am an amateur cake maker in my own right and did this on a whim for my godson's second birthday.

Simply by combining a little creativity and a bit of online research I was able to pull off this wonderful cake. I might add that nobody wanted to be the one to cut into it. The four figures (Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and O'tooles) I borrowed from my godson for decoration. Absolutely everything else on this cake was edible.

I started out by making two batches of marshmallow fondant from a recipe I found online. By simply melting marshmallows and kneading confectioners sugar into the mixture, I opened a whole new gateway of creativity. Believe it or not this was my first time attempting this recipe.

I separated the fondant into several different sections and started to knead the coloring into each (red, yellow, blue, black and grey).

Then I simply went to town, or Mickey's Clubhouse, and started to create all the different aspects of the clubhouse. The head, hand, foot, slide, table, fence and little stone pathway. It was very much like playing with playdough and quite a bit of fun. All of these I let sit over night to set up a bit.

I then made a chocolate sheet cake as well as a confetti dome cake for the base of the main part of the clubhouse. When the cakes were completely cooled. I covered them with green buttercream frosting. I used a thin layer of buttercream on the dome cake to allow the red fondant to stick properly before attaching it to the sheet cake.

From here I just started to assemble all the pieces to the cake. I used a simple flower tip to pipe bushes and then added mini M&M's (my godson's favorite candy) as flowers. With a dusting of green sprinkles on the grass and the figurines in place, the cake was complete.

By the way, here is the website for the fondant recipe. It was extremely useful and I am forever grateful to Peggy.

Cake frosting
by: Anonymous

Hi Rebecca,
I'm not sure if you're still answering questions...I was wondering what you did to make the green frosting green? Did you use food coloring, spray, powder or something else? I'm very new to this and I'm learning every step of the way. =)

Sticking together
by: Kens

LOVE your cake, I am going to attempt to make it for my daughters 2 birthday this Saturday and am wondering how you got the ears to stick so good the the head of Mickey And the Hand so good to the black underneath? DId you have to use any pins or anything? And when you left it to dry you didn't put the actual pieces for the cake into the fridge right? only the dough you had leftover?

Hi I am making a Mickey Mouse clubhouse cake for my daughter's second birthday. I know you got the figurines from the birthday boy, but do you have any clue where they got the tootles, I am on a major hunt down for him, I have all the other clubhouse people but tootles. Any help at all would be much appreciated.

coloring fondant
by: Heather

I love yur cake design (as does my soon to be 3yr old son)! I am concerned with coloring the mickey black. Did you use the gel color or the color mist spray? Also did you carve out the details on the glove and shoe after it was dried (or partly)
Thanks for your help!

The dome (red body) is actually cake wrapped in red MM fondant. You can use any oven safe bowl. Simply spray it good before you put the cake batter in, about 3/4 full should do. Or you can use crisco and flour instead of the spray. Which ever you prefer, just be sure to grease up the bowl good so that it will pop out nicely after baked. I did all the fondant pieces 2 days in advance to give them ample time to dry since several of the pieces were pretty good sized. I simply left them on a cookie sheet on the counter. Putting the fondant in the fridge will help keep it pliable. The black food coloring I got right in the baking section at Walmart. I'm pretty sure the grocery stores carry it as well. I would also suggest investing in a couple pairs of latex gloves other wise your hands will be various colors for a day or two. I hope you enjoy making this cake as much as I did. :)

never made a cake from scratch
by: candace

I am very excited to try and make this cake my kids for their joint birthday. I have never attempted to make a cake form scratch so I am a little nervous and I am not sure how you made the little confetti dome cake part. Also do you let the fondant stay out on the counter to harden over night or do you put it int the fridge?As for the black coloring is there a black food coloring or do you have to mix colors for that?

Linda
by: Rebecca

This cake was a big hit with my family and friends. And honestly, alot of fun to make. After several wedding cakes (which I have yet to try) you shouldn't have any problems at all. To answer your question, everything but the house itself (the red 'body' section) was made completely out of fondant. It was much easier and a whole lot less stressful then trying to shape pieces of cake and then adhear the fondant to it. I just set aside some time a couple days in advance to make the MM Fondant and to make all of the little doo-dads that make up the play house. It was very much like playing with play-doh. I think you'll find it very enjoyable. Best of luck and Happy Birthday to your little one. :]

Had a question...
by: Linda

My son wants a Micky Mouse cake for his 3rd birthday. You have inspired me to make one with fondant (I was always afraid of it before) even though I have experience with cakes (made all my sisters wedding cakes and various others).

I had a question though. Did you make the glove and shoe in all fondant or is there cake under there too?

Thanks!
