CIRCUS - Happy Birthday Ian

The circus is coming to town 
Here they come
They're back in town
It's the greatest show around
There are clowns- jugglers too
There's so much to see and do
The lions roar- elephants dance
Nothing could ever be so grand!
Don't be left behind
They're startin' right on time
Cause the circus is coming to town

I started this cake with a theme & drawings

The making of the Circus Tent - "The Big Top"

The Gumpaste Circus Tent comes to life
A  gumpaste Lion, Seal, and a Magic Hat were created.
The lion and the seal are on a pedestal.
The magic hat has a white rabbit in it holding balloons.
Each piece was cut out & pieced together using edible glue.
Each piece is about 2 1/2 inches tall.

An edible marker was used to make the claws on the lion

The seal balancing a beach ball

Edible markers were used to put details on the balloons

Multicolored pendants were made into a banner. The pendants were made out of gumpaste and a rope to hold the pendants was made using icing. The banner says "Happy Birthday" and the birthday boy's name is on the flag of the tent. The cake is a multicolored marble cake with buttercream icing. Fondant clouds were added to the blue sky to give it that look of a great day to go to the circus.


The finished cake with all of the trimmings. . . . Enjoy!!!


"Take me out to the Circus"

Take me out to the circus
Take me out for the show
Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks
I don't care if I ever get back
Cause it's clap, clap, clap for the jugglers
and laugh, laugh, laugh for the clowns
For it's one, two, three rings of fun at the Old Big Top.
