Now I just have to put together the example craft and finish cleaning the house. Hopefully, I will be back with lots of pictures of her princess birthday party by the end of the weekend.

I Did It!!!
When Little Red Ridinghood said she wanted a princess tea party for her 7th birthday, I knew a castle cake was in order. We saw one that was adorable at our grocery store for $40!!!! That is to steep for my budget, so I decided to make my own. I know it is not all that great next to those who are cake making experts, but I am relieved to be done making this castle cake. It came out very much like I hoped it would. The corner towers are toliet paper rolls with princess Christmas wrapping paper and ice cream cones on top. I also used lots of princess figurines that we already owned. I dyed the coconut green with food coloring. Total cost for my version of a castle cake~$8. Now that is more like it.

ReplyDeleteSo what did you do with the $32 you saved? LOL.
ReplyDeleteGreat job. And truly it's more special when you invest the time in it. At least I think so -- I've got the love language of quality time.
I think it looks cute!
ReplyDeleteIn fact, i have to make a b'day cake for our little girl tomorrow and I might just use your idea as it looks very do-able.

Very very cute!! I love it!! I also make my kids cakes. too expensive to buy them!
ReplyDeleteI love the green coconut! What a great idea. You made a great cake! I hope it tasted as good as it looked.
ReplyDeleteYou post reminds me of a birthday party I had for my youngest daughter (pre-blogging days, it would have made a good post!).
I seen this beautiful Barbie doll cake in the Walmart bakery. The half barbie doll on top, the cake as the dress.... I bought it.....
The day of the party, all of the mothers of the little girls standing around as we sang happy birthday....then I cut into the cake. Surprise! The cake was just a display - it was styrofoam with icing on it.
Embarrassed, at course! but it gave my brother plenty of fodder for the rest of my life to kid me. Now, everytime we have a birthday party, he asks me if the cake is styrofoam :) what are brothers for, to remind you for the rest of your life one of your most embarrasing moments!
Love, Antoinette
