How to Make a Princess Cake

Bake a sheet cake the size that you need. Ice the cake with a white buttercream icing making sure it is nice and smooth.

Fill a bag withy tan icing. Using round tip, size #3 or #4, draw the three princesses on the cake top referring to the picture above.
First fill in the lips on all three using red icing and star tip, size #16. On the center of the mouth use white icing and the same size star tip.

Next fill in the eyes on all three. Use white and brown icing and the same size star tip, size #16 for Snow White and Belle and blue and white icing for Cinderella.

Fill in all of their faces and necks with flesh colored icing using star tip, size #18. The flesh color is made by using just a dab of red and orange paste or gel coloring added to white icing.

Now with medium brown icing and round tip, size #4, outline the eyes and nose and eyebrows of all three. Next take black icing and round tip, size #4 and do the eyelashes on all three.

Using white icing and star tip, size #18, fill in Snow White’s collar.

Make a medium blue icing and do her dress using the same star tip, size #18. Make sure you leave room for pink strips in here sleeves. Fill in the strips and hair band with pink icing and the same size star tip.

For Cinderella, use the same color icing as Snow White’s dress on Cinderella’s bodice and neckband. Make a lighter blue icing for her sleeves and headband and fill them in using the same size star tip. For Belle’s dress and hair band, use a bright yellow icing and the same size star tip, size #18. Cinderella’s hair is done in the same yellow icing and same tip.

Make dark brown icing and fill in Belle’s hair using star tip, size #18. Snow White’s hair is done using star tip, size #18 and black icing.

Finally make a shell border around the top edge and bottom edge of the sides of the cake with pink icing and star tip, size #32. The message is written on the board in pink icing and round tip, size #5.
