Giddy Up!

Sweet Jacelyn's birthday party was going to be at a pony farm, so the cake was a horse, of course, of course. ;) I started with an chocolate 11 x 15  sheet cake.

I made a horse template on the computer and sized it to fit the sheet cake.

Since the cake had been frozen overnight, it made cutting the shapes (mane shown here) a lot easier and less crumb-y.

Ta-Da!

This horse of a different color was PINK...

...with chocolate piped details, including the flowing mane.

The horse turned out pretty cutesy, but something just wasn't right about his eye...

So I added a brown M&M to give this horsey a little more focus.

After picking up her cake, Jacelyn told her mom, "It's too pretty. I'm not sure I want to cut it." ha! Gotta love kids.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JACELYN!!
