Youre putting together a princess party for your little girls birthday and its keeping you busy. You sent out the invitations, got the house spick and span, youre going to hang up decorations, youve put together games to play during the party. Whew, what else is there? Oh yeah, the cake. Are you going to have it made at a bakery? Thats going to cost you. Thats a specialty cake; they just dont have a princess cake sitting there waiting on you. Hey, lets forget all about that bakery and make the cake at home. No, its not too much trouble. In fact, if you can make a regular cake you can definitely make a princess crown cake that your little girl will love.
Use a favorite recipe or just go with a boxed cake mix. A princess cake can be a rainbow cake, white cake, yellow cake or another choice. But, a chocolate cake isnt the best choice for the princess cake. Nearly any other color/flavor will be fine. The best look for the cake is to make two round cakes or, better yet, one large, round cake - or two, large, round, stacked cakes. The larger the cake, though, the easier it is to create the look of a crown. Bake the cake(s) according to the instructions on the box or the recipe. Turn the cake(s) out of the pan and allow to cool completely.
Princess crown cakes can be iced with white frosting, yellow or another color. You can use candy sprinkles to make the cake more colorful, if you want. Write "Happy Birthday" to the child, on the cake, if this is the look you want. To turn the cake into a princess crown use sugar ice cream cones - the ones that are pointed at the bottom. Stand them, upside-down, on a piece of wax paper. Spread a thin coat of frosting over the cones then set them on the cake. Apply the frosting all over the cone but leave the tip bare. Use this area to pick up the cone and set it on the cake. Then, frost the tip of the cone. Align the cones in a circle around the top of the cake, leaving small spaces between them - or no spaces at all. Youll make the crown even more convincing by selecting pretty, round candies - like Sour Cherries - to place atop each cone tip. Use a dab of frosting as glue to hold the candies in place. It can be helpful, if youre going to add candies to the cones, to cut the very tip off so youll have a flat base. Your little girl and all of her friends will be delighted with the beautiful princess crown cake which will be the centerpiece of the party. Its easy to make and turns out simply luscious.
