Daniel Tiger Birthday Cake

My nephew Henry turned 4 yesterday! He had a GRR-rific Daniel Tiger Birthday Party complete with all his friends from school! I hadn't heard of Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, but I researched it online and learned that it is a cartoon about the children of the characters from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood of Make Believe. Kinda cool! Anyway, I thought I would share the cake I made along with a few of the decorations that my husband's family made.

The cake is covered with buttercream icing. I used fondant for the decorations. The characters are from a cake kit my mother-in-law bought online.

And of course I also bought the #4 candle.

The trolley is made from rice krispies treats covered in fondant. I used skewers to attach it to the cake. O the owl lives in the oak tree

and Katerina Kittycat lives in the tree house next door.

Prince Wednesday lives in the castle.

I secured him to the cake board using buttercream icing.

Miss Elaina lives in the Museum-Go-Round.

To fill up the unused space, I added a banner with my nephew's

name to the front and fondant circles to the sides and back.

Henry loved that I made him a Daniel Tiger cake, but I also wanted to share some of the decorations because they were just so cute! PBS Parents has all kinds of ideas for food, activities, decorations and favors plus free printables.
