A couple of months ago, a little girl who is very special to me turned two! She is obsessed with horses and riding, so her mama asked me if I could create a cute horse cake and cookies for her big day at the farm! Of course, this girl loves a good challenge, so I jumped right on it!
This was her party invitation, and served as the inspiration for the set! (Grab the file HERE)
We just had to do a cute horse head with a floral crown! There was no way around it. The cake is covered in my bakery-style chocolate buttercream icing (it’s so good it’s gone viral! Grab the recipe HERE). The large rosettes are piped on with a Wilton 1M Open star tip. I also used this one for the white flowers. (The white, pink and green are all just regular buttercream).
The other rosettes and swirls for her hair are done with a variety of other Wilton tips, with darker chocolate coloring. Just play around with it and have fun!

Her eyes and ears are made from my super easy homemade modeling chocolate! We love this way more than fondant and it really is mad easy. Grab the recipe HERE.

In hindsight, I may have planned out and used modeling chocolate to make her face, too. I was out of white chocolate, so her face is done with smoothed buttercream this time around.

She just turned out SO cute! The birthday girl loved her and that was what mattered most to me!
Now, if you are having a big party and want some cute extras alongside of the cake, look at these other CUTE cupcakes that match the theme!
These adorable Cactus cupcakes are a show-stopper! Grab a tutorial HERE!
What’s a cowgirl party without cowgirl hats?! These are so easy to make, and you could easily jazz them up with royal icing flowers! Put them on cupcakes to just make a few hats to sit out as a snack! Tutorial HERE.
Now, for the cookies. I LOVED making these for sweet Baylor! I had this cute Unicorn head cookie cutter on hand, so I just used that and cut the horn to look like an ear. You could order one of these sweet Horse cookie cutters too if you have time! Etsy also has some cute ones!


We absolutely loved the way this set came out!
