Princess Cake

Libby recently celebrated her 5th birthday.  We had SO much fun making a princess cake and I thought I would share how we made it here on the blog.  I found a how-to video on YouTube (where else do you find out how to do things?!)



Here's the birthday girl next to her cake!  Libby was all worried that I had gotten Barbie's dress all dirty in the cake and frosting.  I assured her that Barbie was covered in Saran Wrap!  I thought about just taking Barbie's clothes off, but I couldn't stand the thought of pulling a naked Barbie out of the cake while cutting it up for everyone to eat!  That would be immodest!

This cake uses TWO cake mixes, so be sure to invite lots of friends to help you eat it or you will be eating cake for awhile!

The frosting I used was this recipe:

COOL WHIP FROSTING
1 c. cold milk 1/4 c. powdered sugar 1 sm. box vanilla or chocolate instant pudding mix Beat on low for 1 minute. Stir in 8 ounce thawed Cool Whip. (If using vanilla pudding you might add a few drops of red food coloring for pretty pink frosting.)
