Princess Tiana
For my birthday, the boys decided that they wanted to make me a Princess & the Frog cake. We cheated a bit on this one and found a Princess Tiana topper, but don't tell...the boys are glad we have a toy to keep from the cake! My oldest who has been very interested in baking and cake design was so meticulous as he placed the decorations on. After nearly covering the entire top tier, he asked me what I thought. I told him how great he did and how well he utilized EVERY empty space! My 4 year old wasted little time planning and jumped right in. I was pretty surprised that none of the fondant pieces broke. He was so excited to put the flower on "his" tier. He was a bit rough, but I love how gentle he TRIED to be!
My very focused 7-year old decorating a Princess cake...does anyone else think this would be a great picture to share with friends in high school? No, really, he was so excited for my birthday and I am really impressed with how important it was to him to make "his" cake look just right!
I only helped him with one, and then he was Mr. Independent! I am pretty sure he was just in a hurry to eat the cake, though. Way to go, buddy...it turned out pretty great!
I love the colors that the boys picked out for this 2-tier, oval cake. Both tiers were Butterscotch-Chocolate dream cake with fresh strawberry filling, and covered with marshmallow fondant. This was the perfect sized cake for my little family and we certainly have plenty left over. It always makes me wonder, why wouldn't you take the size of your party, double or triple it, and order your cake based on that many servings. There is nothing better than leftover birthday cake!
Thanks so much boys! You made my birthday so fabulous! From waking me with a quiet enough Happy Birthday song, so you didn't wake the baby, to the countless birthday kisses and hugs, you made me feel like a real princess! How lucky am I??
