It's A Small World After All

Just a few cakes to share with you today.  Can you guess what the design/theme of at least one of them was?  (Hint:  Use the title of this post.)

This cake isn't the one whose theme inspired the post title, but it's still a fun cake...as long as you don't mind surfing in shark infested waters.

Everything on this cake is edible...the wave, the sharks, even the boards and life preserver.

Here's an homage to one half of the ubiquitous mouse pair known the world over...and part of the title inspiration.  Do you know who I'm referring to?  

Oh, and maybe one of you can answer this question for me - when did she go from a red polka dot dress to a pink one?  The mouse of my childhood was always dressed in red!  (I'm seriously interested in the answer, so if any of you trivia buffs out there know, please share your knowledge.)

And, here it is, the title cake...

The mouse and his house.  As well as a few of his friends.  (No, I didn't make the figures.)  This cake was a lot of fun to make, very bright and cheerful with lots of components.  Here's a view of the back:

It's a small world after all.

By the way, if any of you see K, be sure and sing the song to him.  He'll appreciate it.  After all, he's the one who came up with today's title.
