Last Minute Princess Cake

Published:

Description

A cake that was tossed together at pretty much the last minute. A joint effort between mainly :iconurabanana: and her boyfriend with me called in to help pick up the slack at the end. So very many things went wrong with this cake, but considering all that went wrong and the fact that is was pretty much forced together in less then 2 days it actually turned out pretty nice looking. It does look better in person then it does in these photos but I took them at 6am after we'd finally finished for the night and no one had the energy left to try and improve on the lighting in the room.

I made all the white panels with the princesses. They're food coloring hand painted onto fondant. First time I've ever so much as handled the stuff. I like it for accents, but overall I'm more of a traditional icing kinda gal. I also drew my own princess pictures to work from instead of copying something already done and then printed out the lineart really big so they could give them to the little girl as coloring sheets. Eventually I' plan to color them myself, but I want to color them all fancy like so it won't be done anytime soon.

I piped all the roses (not my best roses, I'm way outta practice and the frosting and tips had issues). There were 37 roses on the cake when the picture was taken, and 11 spares, but the top surface of the cake wasn't finished yet. Cinderella is meant to be moved back further and then have a couple white roses near her and some vines along the edged and the little girls birthday greeting and name go in the middle in white.

I also mixed alot of the icing colors and helped assemble the castle trim (nearly all the actual fondant work was done by the boyfriend, but the base color of the cake was meant to be alot less orange and alot more pink, that was sort of the biggest problem we had to work around in the end. And I piped a few of the vines and leaves after :iconurabanana: 's hand started cramping up for the night.

From what I heard later the cake was a big success and there are a few people there that were talking about hiring us to make them a cake here and there.
