Moons in May

My daughter has a serious love of the moon. She gets SO excited when she gets to see it. So, for her second birthday, it was an easy call for party theme- moon and stars.

I went with a 12" round, dark chocolate with raspberry filling. The moon is carved from chocolate cake as well. All decorations are buttercream.





I gave the moon itself a light brushover with luster dust so that it would shimmer in the light of her birthday candles. The picture doesn't catch this, but it seemed to work, though I think next time a bit more luster dust would be preferable. I wanted to keep it subtle though.
