Teddy Bear Birthday







I am attaching more pics to mix things up. I decorated this cake about two years ago for one of my God Son's first birthdays. He loved teddy bears this and this was a huge hit. The entire cake is made out of cake and icing, there are not fake fillers. The pictures do not do it justice. The cake stood over 3 feet tall and weighed about 35 pounds. I made a miniature size version of the bear from the top of the cake for him to eat alone, needless to say he destroyed it.
