Monsters University Cake

A moist three layered sponge cake sandwiched together with strawberry jam and covered with butter cream and Cadbury Mini Eggs.  To make the fur all I did was use a fork, much quicker and simpler than piping.

On Monday the 21st of April it was my youngest daughter Sasha's 4th birthday.  She is a huge Monsters Inc/University fan.  She got a big Sully plush for Christmas and takes it everywhere so I have been wanting to make her such a cake since then.  It also being her first birthday landing on Easter, mini eggs were also a must.

It being the holidays, Sasha was there when I was making her cake, I never told her what it was going to be but as soon as I mixed the food colouring into the butter cream she said "Sullivan!" After finishing the butter cream, she thought I was done as I was hiding the eggs and toy in the cupboard.  I didn't think it was possible for her to get more excited at this point but as soon as she saw me putting Mike and the eggs on, I got many hugs and kisses for several hours after that! Huge mummy points earned that day.
