When I was a kid, my mother always made me a birthday cake in the shape of a horse. It looked a little like the one here, but not quite as professional. It was made from several layer cakes which was probably a good thing. When my dog, Yankee, got into the kitchen one year and ate off a leg or two, there was enough cake left over for a patch job.
I no longer have a horse cake to celebrate my birthday. These days, I have the real thing.
Freedom gave me a great birthday ride this morning. A nice gallop through the fields and then jumping like a star. He doesn’t know how to rate himself, so when he jumps a fence that’s bigger than he’s used to, he just flies over it. This is a horse that doesn’t like to touch a fence!
Anyhow, if I were to have a horse birthday cake, I’d get Jane of the Literary Horse to make one as she’s the obvious choice.
But here are a few that my childhood self would have enjoyed.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
awesome cakes!
I’d take a ride from Freedom as a birthday cake any day, except that my gift would be a trip to the ER. So glad you enjoyed it!
I have a good friend that I’d like to make that for – would you be willing to post instructions on how to design the cake without a mold? (for those who spend more time with the horse than baking)
Thank you!

Sorry, that one isn’t mine so can’t help!
Happy birthday.
Those are all really cool cakes.
