Cake Decorating Community - Cakes We Bake

I am making a Mickey Mouse Pumpkin cake for a 1 year old birthday.  Also making a 'smash' cake for the birthday girl.  I want to frost the 'smash' cake in white buttercream and cover with very small Mickey Mouse ears.  I know I can get candies (don't want baby to choke) and I know I can do them in 3 pieces (afraid it will look lame), but does anyone know where to get a cutter at the most 1/2" wide for MM ears?  OR better yet - are there any cutters out there that I can use part of?  For example, I use part of the small flower for monkey faces.  Any ideas????

Well Kim
I have 3 cutters for making buscuits. There eons old. One side is plain the other fluted. They range from about 2" to roughly 5-5 1/2". Still use them. Also, before I had a set of round circle cutters, I used my round measuring spoons, drinking glass & shot glass. Look around your kitchen Kim.... surprising what you can use. I have even used some of my husbands tools. Now as far as the "hat" to attach the ears to. Cut a round circle. Lay It over a small overturned small bowl... a real bowl, candy dish.... whatever has the round shape you want. Let it dry & attach your "ears" with gum glue or water.
Hope this helps and gives some you ideas..... :o)

Kim, if you want something as small as 1/2", you could try using the bottom end of a piping nozzle - that's what I use when I want small circles.  If you look at my Louboutin shoe, you will see there is a small ring on the front holding the two long straps together.  I made this with the end of a standard nozzle and then cut the middle out with the piping end of a nozzle like the round one at the back of this picture.

Or you can get small cookie cutters already shaped, like this -
