First timeMy daughter asked me to make her a Mickey Mouse cake for her birthday and this was my first time. I bought the Wilton copper (as suggested) and it is not the right colour at all. I was very disappointed. It turned out like Mickey buy the Wilton copper is the not the right colour. Wilton should alter their directions to provide the right colour!

The cake was fairly easy to decorate. It was a hit at our grandson's 2nd birthday. As for the food coloring, I will opt to use natural food coloring derived from plants rather than chemically produced one. Our little guy had black lips and teeth as everyone else did who ate the black icing. We thought it was funny at first but grew to concern. No more Wilton's black food coloring for me. . . Lesson learned!
