My daughter Madison is such a girly girl. Even at 1! She is all about bows, pink and princesses, so what better way to celebrate her first birthday than by giving her a Princess Party!
I wanted to go all out on her cake because I made an awesome Elmo cake for my son, so I didn’t want her to look back on pictures and wonder why she got a “normal” cake and her brother got an awesome one. So I set out for ideas. I went to Toys R Us and started looking at the toy castles trying to figure out how I could replicate them. I took pictures with my phone and then went home to plan the castle cake.
The bottom of the cake is a single layer cake 9 x 13 (it’s a Wilton pan). Then I took two 8 in square pans and made single cakes. I rough frosted the first 9×13 cake and put one of the 8 inch square cakes on top and rough frosted. I cut about an inch around the second square cake and put that on top of the first square and rough frosted. Put that in the fridge to harden.
The next project were the circles. I made 24 cupcakes. After they cooled, I cut the top off so I had 24 circle bottoms. I frosted the top of the bottom halves and put 3 of them together and then held them together with candy/lollipop sticks. Frosted the outside of them and put them in the fridge to harden (I made 5 total of these). Once the frosting on the cake had hardened, I took it out and frosted it again so that all the little pieces of cake didn’t show…LOL!
I attached the cylinders (the cupcake bottoms) on the 4 corners of the bottom layer of cake and put the 5th on top of the square cake. I added more lollipop sticks to secure these to the cake. The triangles on top of the cylinders are chocolate sugar cones and for the doors and windows I used choc covered graham crackers. I then just decorated the cake with colored frosting. BUT…what cake would be complete without a princess? I had bought a set of 3 small princesses and wrapped the bottom of them in cellophane and made the bottom of their dress with the leftover cupcakes. I frosted them and then decorated them…these were my daughter’s cakes.
