Fairytale Princess Cake!


ur little one turned four last week. Many many happy returns my dear. Her birthday is the happiest day of the year for us and we make no secret of that to her. She just learned to read and write her letters and numbers. Among other things, we asked her how many toys she wanted this year, she went 'ten'. So we took her to the toy store and let her run loose (for a change) to pick her ten favorite toys.

Even though she acts like going-on-fourteen she is still very much a four year old girl at heart. Cliche or not, she is now big time into pink. Everything, starting from the band in her hair to her sheets and toys, everything needs to be pink. Oh yes, and pink princesses, even better. So this year I decided to make her very own pink princess doll cake. A cake that she can eat and a doll she can keep as a souvenier.
I followed the recipe verbatim from Betty Crocker. Here's a video from them showing how its done.
ENJOY!

Seema Kamath alias Seema Abbas Ali said...

Hey Aipi,

That truly has come out so elegant. Even I wanted to make this for my kids' birthday but never encountered the video and did not see in any blogs that I follow. The video that you have shared is really good. Yours has come out prettier than the princess in the video. I swear! Belated birthday wishes to your princess... Did she wear pink too on that day?

Regards,
Seema

Belated withes to your 4 (almost 14) year old. She must have been thrilled to see this beautiful princess cake! My Mom used to make these for us when we were little ones. She would take us to the store and let us pick out our very own barbie doll and then decorate her in a dress of our favorite color with ribbons and bows, sometimes a special little gift hidden somewhere on the cake. ahh..memories :)

MƩlange said...

Belated B'day wishes to the pink princess there ! Pass my hugs to her Aipi dear plz.

In fact,mng I posted a message and then the blogger started showing error 403 or something.After which,I couldn't post anything.

I was excited reading her love for pink and princesses.Since I experience the same here.When she was 4 and all,my daughter was only into pink.Now that she is 6,we are somehow convincing her to use other colours as well.And my God,she loves princess stories and fairy tales so much that now I started rationing like only on week ends.Likewise,I started reading her great expectations and all,to just unknowingly show how real life is like.Balancing act !

And the love for pink,it's really good at this age coz' I have read, psychologically,it's when the kids,esp girls,love their home and circumstances,they love to see the entire world with the same brightness.

I just shown my daughter this cake and she was telling me this is one of the best cakes she has ever seen..(for the last 3 b'days am presenting her with these which she demands )

Lovely post..Once again love to her !
