My sweet four year-old niece requested a "round cake, lemon, with Minnie-mouse's face, polka dots, and flowers." To make Minnie's face I rolled out a a piece of gumpaste thin enough that I could see through it to trace a printed picture. Then I painted the colors and details with food color gels. The bow, polka dots, and flowers are made out of gumpaste. The cake itself is frosted in fluffy lemon buttercream.
