Princess Cake

I was hired to make a Princess-themed cake for a little girl’s birthday party today. I’ve had this idea in my mind for a long time to make a princess tiara out of gum paste to sit atop the cake. Well, I finally had the opportunity to try out my idea and it worked great! I’ve posted a step-by-step tutorial here if you want to try making your own tiara cake topper.
This pink princess cake is vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream, the birthday princess’ favorite. It is also nut-free.
What a cute cake. I know a couple of girls that would love to have this as their birthday cake!
Thank you! I was very surprised that the tiara turned out just the way I wanted it on my first attempt. That almost never happens!
Your cakes are just beautiful! I saw where you listed the ingredients to make your gum paste but not directions on how to make them. Could you post your recipe? Thanks!
Thanks, Stacy. The recipe for making gum paste is on the back of the container of gum paste powder. The recipe varies depending on what brand you use.
