Celebrating my youngest son who turned 7 with the Inside Out birthday-themed. It is inspired by the Inside Out movie that showcases the emotions inside the mind. There are joy, sadness, anger, fear, and disgust. A very good movie by Disney Pixar, highly recommended.
For the birthday cake, I made a White almond sour cream cake with marshmallow fondant icing.
To make Joy figurine from fondant, you may find the tutorial here.
For a surprise, I made a polkadot pattern inside the cake. You may find the tutorial here.
Not to forget his birthday bento, with the Inside Out-themed as well :)
