Tasty Tuesday: How to Make a Princess Cake

Yesterday I posted - how to throw a princess party and today I want to share with you how to make a princess party cake!

Princess Cake

Ingredients
Shortening
Flour
1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
2 (16 ounce) packages vanilla frosting
A couple drops of food coloring - your choice


Cooking Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 2-quart ovenproof Pyrex glass mixing bowl with shortening and dust with flour.
2. Prepare cake as directed on box. Pour batter into prepared bowl.
3. Bake 50-60 minutes or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.
4. Invert on cake plate with widest part of cake on the bottom. Cool 3 hours before decorating.
5. Insert a clean doll into center of cake. Decorate the skirt with icing tinted any color or use more than one color. Use a decorator tip to make the skirt as fancy as you like. I used the star tip.


Also, here's the link on how to make a castle cake! If this princess cake is not large enough to serve your guests - you could make a castle to go along with it!



I am participating in "In Passionate Pursuit's" Tasty Tuesday and in Tempt Your Tummy Tuesday. For more blogger recipes go to these links

  7. Beautiful! Boy that takes me back ... my mom was a wonderful cake decorator and made me one just like it when I was about six! ;0)

    And yes, I agree that you and I seem to be kindred spirits, Courtney! Our header, homemaking themes, princess parties and of course the most important thing: our God! ;0) Wish we lived closer so we could have a good long chat over lunch and shopping! ;0) Maybe the next time I get to Ohio!

I LOVE hearing from my readers and I pray for you all regularly. I try to respond to questions in the comment section as quickly as I can - within 1-3 days.

Due to an overflowing email inbox and the desire to keep my husband, children and home first priority in my life, I am no longer able to answer personal emails at this time. I apologize.
