Piggy Ballerina Cake

For me, all party planning begins with the cake design! So when my daughter requested a Piggy Ballerina party ('cause she's a fun silly little girl like that) I instantly knew there would be pink ruffles!

This was such a cute party theme! Of course there was no better choice to design the illustration than Piggy Bank Parties! The talented Team Driver delivered a breathtakingly BEAUTIFUL hand drawn Tulip the Ballerina Piggy! You'll see lots more of her in my party post! 

I was so excited to translate Tulip into a 3D fondant creation. What I love most about the illustration is her eyes! I knew I wanted to try and capture those blue eyes...

The finishing touch on the cake was the beautiful mini glittery name banner from The Purple Pug. It's hard to appreciate in a photo just how beautiful this hand-crafted glittery creation is. And I love that I get to save it!

The cake was strawberry, per the birthday girl's request...because she wanted all PINK! She just loved her Piggy Ballerina cake!!

I'll be sharing pictures from the party in my next post...stay tuned!
