Pony Cake
I love to bake. I usually bake cookies, muffins, breads, and pies.
Birthday cakes I love to make for my hubby and kids on their special day.
I wasn’t sure how I was going to decorate the pony cake for my daughter’s Vintage Equestrian Birthday Party last month.
I figured I was going to simply outline a horse in icing then fill it in but I had a lightbulb moment a few days before the party.
So I wanted to share this super easy way that I decorated this pony cake!
First, you need to find an image of a horse {or whatever design you are creating} on the web.
The easiest way to get a clean image is to type “horse silhouette”. That way you get a clean black image and it will be easy to cut out.
Print your image.
Then you just cut out the image with an exacto-knife.
Prep your cake and make sure the icing is still soft, don’t let it harden.
Place your stencil on the center of your cake.
And make sure to press the stencil down into the icing.
Have your handy helper sprinkle {or just dump} the chocolate sprinkles into the middle of the stencil.
Side note, putting this cake on large baking sheet would have been a really smart idea to catch the extra sprinkles!
Gently press the sprinkles into the cake and gently lift off the stencil.
Voila! A pretty pink pony cake.
Now here is the recipe I always use for vanilla cake or cupcakes. So delicious!

Party Streamers
A simple way to add party decor to your home is to throw some party streamers over a chandelier!
I stood on this table and added a streamer that is the same length on each side. It just hangs over the edge of the chandelier. No tape needed. Then I cut the bottom of each streamer like a ribbon.
The fun part was hiding the favors for the little party guests in between the streamers 😉
Do you like to decorate for birthday parties with cakes and streamers?
This is such a neat idea!!
Thanks Joyce 😉
