Hello Kitty Stacked Cake

Ok... so this was the 2nd cake that I made for my little girl's birthday... she has a 'friends party' and a 'family party' so I have to make 2 cakes... more often than not along the Hello Kitty theme. I long for the day when it's something different, lol!

The bottom tier is an 8" Chocolate Mud cake, filled with Dairy Milk ganache. The top tier is a 6" Madagascan vanilla sponge, coloured pink, of course... filled with vanilla buttercream... both delicious!

I had to use a bit of dried spaghetti for the balloon string as I was lost for ideas... hugely worried it would snap... any other suggestions most gratefully received!

Oh well... I'm off to make 24 sugarpaste ponies! Sam x
