Mickey Mouse is an extremely popular character for birthday cakes.  I have done my fair share of Mickey and Minnie cakes in the past few years.  This one, however, was fresh and exciting!  This cake was based on the party’s decorations and tableware:

These matching plates, cups, and napkins are so super cute for a first birthday party!  I love the pastel colors that are still manly but baby soft.

One of my favorite parts of this cake is the birthday boys name written out in the Disney style font.  I have been dying to put this font on a cake for so long and I finally got the chance!  I found this font on fontspace.com.  The font I used on this cake is called Walter, but I love this website because there are tons of fun and free fonts to choose from.

I also loved the cute Mickey cutouts that are popping out all over the cake.  They give the cake so much life!  The way the number one matches the bottom tier with the stripes is also a real genius moment.  I had so much fun making this cake; Happy First Birthday Xander!
