[aamob]

I'm looking for an old post which someone had mada a Cinderella cake with fondant icing. I would love to see the picture again to see if my neighbor is able to try it for my DD birthday in Aug. I am definately not talented enough for that. Any help would be great!!

Looks like the pic may have been removed but it has this


COVERING - I used rolled fondant to cover everything. This is the first time I used rolled fondant. Using it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be-it was like playing with Play Doh! But now I hear that there is this rolled buttercream that tastes so much better (I will try that next time).

CAKE - There is a 12”, 2 layer cake in the middle – if I were to do this again I would make it higher (more layers). I was going to put a square cake on top of that, but ran out of time and make shifted a square out of a confectioner’s sugar box and covered with rolled fondant.

TURRETS - The bottoms of the turrets are: small Arizona iced tea cans (around the base of the cake), a toilet paper roll (the short one in the middle), and a paper towel roll (the tall one). The middle of the turrets (where the band of gold ribbon is) is the wafer ice cream cones. And of course the pointy tops of the turrets are the sugar cones. If you wanted to make these edible you could bake a cake, cut pieces out with a straight biscuit cutter and glue together with icing – or glue sandwich cookies together – or bake the cake in soup or beer cans – there are numerous choices.

GOLD – I heard about this Gold Dust / Luster Dust that is edible and I wanted to use that. I was 4 days away from the party when I heard about it so I couldn’t order it online without paying an arm and a leg and a kidney and a liver….. I called a bunch of places in the area and only found one place that sells it. I sent my mother to get it, but what she came back with was a bronze gold, and it in no way matched the bright gold accessories I had already bought. So instead I used sparkly gold glitter paint, gold wire and gold ribbon for the accents.

FLOATS – I basically used styrofoam, foam board, sparkly gold paint, gold wire, gold ribbon and flowers.

OH, I almost forgot, the front center of the castle is foam board covered with fondant – being this is my first time using fondant, I wasn’t sure that if I made the front of only fondant that it would stand on its own, so I backed it with foam board.

Of course for a week or so before the party I ate, breathed and lived castle cake... thinking 24/7 of anything and everything I could do to get this done. The party was supposed to be on sunday 2/12, but a blizzard came on saturday night, dumping a ton of snow. You can imagine my anguish when I heard the blizzard was coming!! Luckily the hall that was reserved was available, so we only postponed the party to monday evening.

This cake was done for my darling niece's first birthday - we recently went to WDW in November and she just flipped over all of the characters... I have her hooked! Really, she is like a daughter to me and now we have this even tighter bond.... Disney!

There was a gorgeous one that jillyjoey did. I'll see if I can find it.

She also refered me to a site called cakecentral.com which has tons of cake design ideas. I'm a Pampered Chef consultant and we have a doll cake that can be made with our Batter Bowl and I want to try it...although I haven't done it yet. When I had seen the cake that jillyjoey had done, I fell in love with it!
