Princess Cake

For my niece Rylee's 6th birthday, I used a Wilton Wonder mould pan with 2 cake mixes.

When cutting the cake, a rainbow of colours was revealed. I separated the vanilla cake mixes into separate bowls and added rainbow colors, then poured each color, one on top of the other into the pan. Some colours swirled together naturally but it looked good when cut. After the cake was baked and removed from the pan I let it cool completely and then cut horizontally in thirds (with thread). In between the layers I layered marshmallows and icing. With the rainbow colors and 3 layers, it made for an exciting cake inside and outside.

The doll I used is only the top half of the doll with a chopstick inserted in the doll to brace her in the cake.

The 'dress' is done with a rose type tip to make the ruffles and a star tip for the rest (including the bodice on the doll).

Edible silver balls are added to the flowers to provide sparkle.

Pink jellybeans are added along the bottom for interest and more taste.
