Tackling a Birthday Cake

It's time for Tackle It Tuesday with 5 Minutes for Mom . This week, I tackled a birthday cake for my 6-year-old.

It was her golden birthday so we did it up! We had a party for her entire class (21 kids!!) at Chuck E. Cheese. She wanted a princess cake that wasn't a Barbie Doll cake. So here is my deconstructed princess:


The top is the crown:


And the bottom is her skirt with lace in the front and ruffles in the back:



She absolutely loved it and I think it turned out pretty well. What do you think?

My daughter would go nuts for that cake. Her birthday is coming up. I don't think I have time to conquer my long standing deficiencies in icing skills.
