Princess Cake 2

This is a lovely princess cake made for a princess loving lady. The ensemble is a ball gown with a white ruffles skirt and a chick pink top with sleeves. The cake is a Butter Chocolate Cake frosted with chocolate buttercream frosting. The ball part of the gown was made using a Wilton Wonder Mold and the top half of the doll is a Wilton Doll Pick.

This was the first time I attempted to make a full ruffle skirt. It was tasking layering the various levels of ruffles,but in the end, the look was perfect.

Unlike the other princess cakes I make, I wanted the top part of the skirt to be small in order to show off the ruffles. Thus, I cut it out using a 6 inch disk (as opposed to a 10 inch disk) and placed ruffles on the circumference of the pink circle. I also used a rolling tool to create the illusion of stitches around the edge of the circle.

The back of the gown is perfectly draped with a pink bow detail.

The top of the dress has sleeves and a few pearl details. Being that the skirt part of the dress was already exaggerated, I chose to keep the top part simple.

The celebrant was very pleased with the cake.
