We got this order for a four year old’s birthday a couple months ago, the only problem was that our house was under construction … Read more
I made this pretty pink Disney princess cake for a 4 year girl. It is a chocolate cake layered with chocolate butter cream icing. It’s covered in sugar paste. I couldn’t find my round nozzle and I was about to panic when I realized that I can use a plastic packet and cut the tip off … Read more
For my granddaughter’s 4th birthday party, she decided on the Disney princesses theme with Cinderella, Ariel, and Belle as her main characters.

My daughter gazed delightedly at Disney … Read more
