I made this Cinderella Cake Design for my daughter’s 4th birthday party. I found the figurines at the Disney Store and thought they would be perfect as cake decorations. I used the Wilton’s oval cake pane set (excluding the second to biggest) to make 3 cakes. I covered each oval cake with white fondant and stacked the cakes toward the back of each other so that there was plenty of room for the Cinderella characters.
I cut the carpet from red fondant and carefully placed it down the front of the “staircase”. For the topper, I found a plastic glass slipper at my local cake decorating store (for $.59) and I made the pillow that it rests on by arranging 9 big marshmallows in a square. I covered the marshmallow square with blue fondant and made the twisted trim by twisting together 2 really thin strings of yellow and blue fondant.
I made the tassels on the corners with yellow fondant. I arranged the characters and secured them to the cake by putting a small amount of buttercream on the bottom of each. I added red, blue and purple roses and a bead border where the cakes meet each other.
My daughter LOVED her cake and I thought it was neat to have a princess cake that was something other than the classic pastel pinks and purples!
