This homemade Princess cake was very easy and inexpensive for my princess! My daughter was turning three around the 4th of July and she, of course, is very into princesses. I wanted to buy her a princess doll anyway so I asked my very creative mother-in-law to help me make it into a cake. We … Read more
I made this Princess Cake for my daughter’s 11th birthday. I used the Wilton Barbie pan. It was the first time ever working with fondant.

This Barbie Birthday Cake was made for my friend’s daughter’s 7th birthday. She wanted six round cakes around a Barbie doll cake. I used a metal mixing bowl for the cake (butter cake). I let it cool overnight to make the cake little bit firm and easy to cut a round hole in the middle … Read more
I have always had an interest in cake decorating. I never really did it until my youngest daughter’s birthday last November. Even then, it was just something simple.

I made this Fairy Princess Dolly Varden cake for my daughters’ 3rd birthday. It was definitely a learning process, with a few false starts when icing the pink and blue sections of her dress! My daughter (Kadee) already owned a pink Mariposa Fairy Barbie that she had ripped the wings off, so I bought a … Read more
I removed the legs from the doll and pushed her into the top of the cakes. After that I just tinted the frosting and decorated using a decorator bag and a star tip. My daughter LOVED this cake! I saved the legs from the doll and she got another Barbie when it was all done.
We had a “Barbie Fashion Princess Party” for my daughters 6th. This description is similar to the many descriptions for Barbie cakes you can find on line. I stuck a complete (clean) Barbie down into the cake. I then unmolded the cake onto a glass pedestal cake plate, to make it more “glamorous”. This cake … Read more
I baked the “skirt” part of the cake in a Pampered Chef Pyrex batter bowl (1 box confetti cake mix). But since it didnt rise as much as I expected (maybe because of our 5000′ altitude, even though I followed the high altitude directions), I had to raise it a bit by putting a 9-inch … Read more
