I was inspired by this website to create a Cinderella cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. It was my first cake ever! I made an 8″ round base for the skirt and doll to sit on and to add a bit of height. I was intimidated to use rolled fondant, but I actually had fun with it and preferred it over the buttercream.
I used fondant on the round base and Wilton’s buttercream recipe for the skirt. I used Wilton’s Classic skirt mold for the doll. I wrapped the bottom half of a Cinderella doll in saran wrap and cut a hole in the top – I would measure next time, because my hole was a bit too big and Cinderella had a bit of a lean to her.
I used a spreader to make the skirt marks in the buttercream. I wasn’t totally thrilled with the way the icing looked on the skirt, but everyone was thrilled when they saw it!
What an inspiration to first time cake makers.
You did a great job. With practice makes perfect, can’t wait to see what you will do next. Looks like you have a knack for this. I can remember when I was a little girl, my mom making my cakes from scratch and loving them. It’s really becoming a lost art, everything is store bought now, what a shame, right! Keep it up, you’re creating wonderful memories. Great Job!
