My Granddaughter loved this cake. It does take time to decorate so plan your time around it. It came out great. I was a little concerned because it was smaller than I usually work with.

I made a variation of this cake for my Mom's birthday. I had 5 bears instead of 4 and made 4 presents out of cake(1 from each bear). The birthday bear wore a purple crown with sugar pearl accents and a light dusting of silver petal dust and all 4 other bears wore different color party hats. All bears wore sugar pearl necklaces, bracelets, and earings. I had purple sugar confeti sparkles sprinkled onto the "table" around the cake. And I decorated the mini cake as though it were a real birthday cake as well. My "Happy Birthday Grammy" was on the cake plate itself in purple (Mom's favorite color) fondant. All in all, it was gorgeous and Mom loved it, as did everyone else in the restaurant!
