Meet Sleeping Beauty, my latest cake to order. A lovely sponge with homemade icing and a buttercream filling. My brief (from my 4 year old client) was 'Princess' and 'Purple'. After some interrogation I discovered that Sleeping Beauty was her current favourite so that narrowed the field a bit. I was under strict instructions to get her hair right though. No pressure.
Do you know how many cake makers cheat when they make Princess cakes? Humph. You wouldn't catch me buying a doll instead of making my own. Which sounds great as a moral stand point - until you start making the icing and moulding it into a little figure.
I'm quite pleased with the end result though. Let me know what you think. And of course if you'd like me to make one for your little princess you know where to find me. Email me here.
