So I was approached to do a birthday cake for a little girl and was told that her favorite things were Pokemon and Mets. Hmm.....where do I go with that one? So this is the cake I came up with. It was 2 layers with strawberry filling and vanilla buttercream. I cut out a Pokemon character from fondant and put a Mets jersey on him. The Happy Birthday is in the colors of the Mets and around the edges of the cake I put Mets logos and Pokeballs that I made out of fondant also.
There's also a funny story behind this cake and another that I did. They were for the tattoo artists that my husband goes to and the cakes were made in exchange for tattoos for my hubby!
