Birthday Cake

 This week, I tackled a birthday cake for my 6-year-old.

It was her golden birthday so we did it up! We had a party for her entire class (21 kids!!) at Chuck E. Cheese. She wanted a princess cake that wasn't a Barbie Doll cake. So here is my deconstructed princess:



The top is the crown:


And the bottom is her skirt with lace in the front and ruffles in the back:



She absolutely loved it and I think it turned out pretty well. What do you think?

    This is just so great! Did you bake it on your gal's real birthday, or did you wait 'til you were feeling better?

    My daughter would go nuts for that cake. Her birthday is coming up. I don't think I have time to conquer my long standing deficiencies in icing skills.
