Princess Birthday Cakes!

I have wanted to do something like this for a while now, so when Ella (months ago) started talking about wanting a princess birthday party it gave me the perfect excuse!  We had a little handful of friends over, and each girl had their own little princess cake - Ella picked which princess dresses to make and she even helped with some of the construction work.  The inside was a from-scratch strawberry cake... tasted pretty good, though I should have shot some filling in the middle.  Next time.

                                                All the pretty princesses...

                                                               Sleeping Beauty

                                                          Snow White (my favorite dress)

                                                                    Cinderella

                                                                        Belle

                                                                   Tiana or Tinkerbell
                                                        (depends on the girl and the day)

Next time I might spend more time on the details... I had intended to make a little apple for Snow White, a rose for Belle, a frog for Tiana, a shoe for Cinderella, and a crown for Sleeping Beauty.  BUT, I wasn't up until the wee hours doing this, my family didn't miss me for hours on end - and the result was very pleasing for 4-year olds.  All things considered, an overall success!
