Minion Chiffon Cake

Made a Minion Theme Birthday Party for my son. The cake took me 3 days to bake! I started with the lower tier, which is 23cm (9") it was really tough to do naked look - (no browning by the sides). Then followed by the upper tier, which is 7" (17~18cm). The final day was doing the chiffon sheet, cutting and assembling them together. Because this cake was too tall to be in normal cake box, i put it in a super tall box and cling wrapped up tightly. And because the box was too tall to fit into my fridge (with all the party stuff), the minion had a chance to sleep in my aircon room. LOL!


Some photos of the party:


My DIY dessert table which was prepared a week in advance, i will brief you through. hehe.
