Princess Cake for Birthday!

My best friend did a GORGEOUS castle for my daughters first birthday. I believe it was a wilson cake pan. My friend happens to have cake decorating skillz.

I always find my ideas on cakecentral.com they have a great website and it is free. You can sign up and then look at pictures of other people's cakes. I get great ideas from the site and you can also learn how to do different techniques. Good luck!

My mom does cakes and teaches cake classes for a living. If you would like more info on how to contact her send me a private message. I am not sure what she would charge for that type of cake but she does wonderful work and has resonable prices!

We got my daughter the cutest castle cake for her birthday at Albertsons. It is two layers with windows with each of the princesses in them. I think it was $29.99. It was really neat because you can save the pieces to make your own princess castle again.

Wilton has a castle cake that you can create. It takes 2 small round cake layers and 2 larger round cake layers. The rest are castle pieces that come in the box.

email her and she can send you a pic of it!

I'm not sure where you're located, but Market Street (Colleyville and I believe McKinney?) has a Disney princess castle cake that's really pretty, and it comes with several keepsake figurines.

You can make a princess cake pretty easily if you have a metal bowl and a barbie doll.

That's one example I found.

I used a cheap metal bowl from wal mart ($3)and made a foil tube from aluminum foil and made my niece a little mermaid one. They're not hard to ice and much easier than a castle to transport.

Here's 3 ideas:

1. You could do princess themed cupcakes by inserting a magic wand into each cupcake for each guest to take home. (maybe that's more "fairy princess" but I know cupcakes are easier for parties).
2. You could also make the cupcakes into castles by turning an ice cream cone up-side-down on top of the cup cake and decorating it with icing.
3. If you feel adventurous you could make little golden crowns out of fondant and decorate them with large sugar sprinkles (like flat circles & flowers) and top cupcakes with them.

Believe it or not HEB has a princess castle cake and it is only around $40 - we have had it and the Barbie princess cake. I used to spend $80 at Cake Affairs but found that the HEB cakes were good and much cheaper - the kids like them just the same. Good luck!

I just had an adorable princess cake made from Kroger for my daughter last month! They did such a great job and it even came with a castle picture frame so I could put her pic in the center of the cake...I have pics if you want me to e-mail them....it was awesome!
