Cute Homemade Cinderella Cake for a 4 Year Old

I made this Cinderella cake for my friend’s daughter’s 4th birthday.

I started with a homemade sheet cake using a yellow cake recipe. I then spread it with pink dyed buttercream icing and covered it with white fondant icing (sugarpaste). Using a tube of blue writing icing I stuck the pink candies (Smarties) around the base. Then I made the path using buttercream icing and pink sprinkles and outlined it with blue.

For the doll’s dress, I again made a yellow cake using a 1 liter/1 quart pyrex bowl. I then dyed two lots of fondant the two shades of blue and made the bodice of the dress using fondant molded around the body. I added little cap sleeves and gloves and stuck on little blue balls for the dress detailing. The choker is made with black writing icing and a silver ball.

To insert the doll I first removed the legs and cut a small hole in the middle of the round cake, covered it with buttercream icing and stuck the doll in. I then covered the cake with dark blue fondant and then draped the light blue over it. Using a pastry brush I moistened the dark blue parts of the dress and brushed on edible pearl glitter. I used little blue flowers for detailing.

Then put the doll cake on the sheet cake. For added interest I added little clumps of flowers on the sheet cake. My friend’s daughter really loved the cake.
