  1. These are so adorable! This will definitely put my novice decorating skills to the test but they would be so worth it! I know they will be such a big hit with the kids and the adults!

  2. These are great and timely the 3 kids are all mickey mouse mad with the littlest very much a Minnie Mouse girl. I know we would all enjoy these!

  3. There you go, I’ve now learnt how to make cake balls – now they aren’t too difficult but the rest must take quite a while. I doubt that I have the patience to make these.
