We created this Winnie the Pooh cake for little Gia. She was celebrating with friends at a local splash park so her parents thought it would be fun to create a cake where Pooh was having a splash himself. The Hundred Acre Wood gang are heading into the woods to their favorite watering hole. Mom requested Gia’s name at the top of the cake. Vanilla cake with strawberry buttercream and chocolate cake with raspberry buttercream.
