Thing 1 and Thing 2 Mini Smash Cakes

My neighbor Teresa texted and asked if I would make some mini smash cakes for her twin grandson’s first birthday.  She said it was totally up to me as to what I wanted to do, oh the pressure!  For some reason Thing 1 and Thing 2 came to mind and I knew that I was on to something.  I baked two 6″ round chocolate cake layers using my favorite White Almond Sour Cream Cake recipe, I whipped up a batch of my favorite Buttercream Icing and tinted it a Thing 1 and Thing 2 blue using my new Wilton Color Right Performance Color System which I got at Michaels and which worked like a dream and frosted the cakes.  Next I made a strip of Wilton red fondant and wrapped the sides of each cake with it.  I went to Dollar Tree and found cotton candy for the hair which just makes me laugh and then I cut some circles out of some Wilton white fondant and using Wilton Edible Markers, I labeled them Thing 1 and Thing 2.  I think these cakes are so adorable!  Happy 1st Birthday to Payton and Makai!
