Disney Princess Cake
by Robin Schaum
(Chicago, IL)
I made this cake for my daughter's 3rd birthday because she is totally obsessed with Disney princesses. This cake is made using a kit that you can order online and includes the plastic tower pieces, turrets, door frame, picture frame and princesses. The kit also comes with detailed instructions, including what tips to use.
I baked two yellow cakes in a half sheet pan according to the pans directions and then cut the pieces according to the kit directions to build the castle. After an initial crumb-coating I iced the cake with white icing and created "bricks" using a wooden skewer. I then added the towers and piped the door with a ridged tip to look like wood. I then piped the vines (on sides and back) and topiaries. The kit says to make icing flowers, but I used artificial flowers for convenience. I iced the board to look like a moat around the castle and used chocolate icing on a graham cracker to create a bridge. This castle was a huge hit, and was much cheaper to make myself than to get at the local bakery.
