A Simple Request ?!?

It all started out with Kaitlyn asking for a My Little Pony party for her 5th birthday. I thought, okay, I can do a my little pony cake. In fact it will probably be one of the easiest ones I've done. Not in the least! After I started doing my research to find the best way to make one, I quickly realized it was easier said than done. You could buy the Wilton Pony pan for like $35, but what's the point if you're only going to use it once? Then a bunch I looked at were just a cake with ponies set on top, or elaborate pony houses made out of fondant, but since I believe that cake should be edible, and let's face it fondant just isn't, I quickly ruled those out. That left one option, making my own. Once again I was feeling rather confident. I had done some pretty cool cakes over the last couple of years (excuse me for bragging a little bit),
Here is the duck cake from Katilyn's first birthday. I did have help from my mother-in-law for this one, and a duck pan complete with directions. Kaitlyn's second birthday was Mickey Mouse, and my sister helped with this one.

Third year was a Little Einstein's theme, ergo a rocket cake. I did this one by myself.

Her fourth year she wanted princess. This was probably the coolest, but by far the easiest one to make. Did this one myself to.

Now we are to this year. I went to Michael's and bought a 12x18 inch pan, since a regular 9x13 was not big enough. Then I had Aaron draw me an outline for the pony, since my would end up looking like a stick figure. Then I placed the outline on my finished strawberry cake (and just f.y.i. it took three cake mixes to fill that pan!), then I cut out the shape and set to decorating. 2 1/2 hours later I'm finished. I'm sure Kaitlyn will point out that rainbow dash actually has a blue body instead of pink, but oh well. I did the best I could. It is far from perfect but I think it looks like a pony. What do you think?? I'll post pics of the pony part tomorrow!
