My daughters birthday was in January. I decided I wanted to make her a Princess Cake. I saw the picture of a princess cake on the Family Fun website. Unfortunately, there were no real clear directions on how to make the cake. So after throwing away about 6 cakes I finally found the best way to make this cake.
I made two nine inch rounds made of chocolate. Then I made a white cake and put it in a smaller size dome cake. I assembled them together with a pudding/cream cheeses recipe I made up. I stuck Barbie down in the center and put pieces of a failed cake all around her to give her stability. Voila, there is the first picture. Then after trying my hand with the pastry bag I fashioned a dress out of 'stars'. I saw this type of "doll dress" on Martha Stewart's website. (Again, there was no real directions, at least that I had any kind of success with).
It was a challenge that I enjoyed. If anyone attempts this I would love to hear about your adventures.
Pudding Filling
1 box of chocolate pudding
1 cup of milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
8 oz. cream cheese
2/3 cup brown sugar
Cream the cheese and sugar together. Blend well and add the vanilla and milk. Finally add the pudding mix. Chill until set.

Oh my, I had totally forgotten about those cakes. My mom made one for me once and then all of the neighborhood mommies asked her to make them for their daughters. I think she baked it in a bowl.
Hello from Canada! This is a dream come true for girls of any age. Heck, I'd love a treat like this. Have I told you that 'cake' is my favorite food group?
It was a lot of fun to make. Unfortantely we ended up throwing a quarter of it away. We also gave quite a bit away. I had to because it was calling me, day and night, like a siren. he he. And I didnt really go into detail in the post but we actually celebrated both my daughters birthdays in January. So in fact there were two "Princess's" around here. Yikes. Lots'o'sugar.
Very impressive!
Oh Lori, how cute is that - thanks for steering us here - love it - and now we even appreciate the work that goes into it.
