Strawberry Shortcake Princess Theme

Strawberry Shortcake Princess Theme on Cake Central

This is the cake I did for my daughter's 2nd birthday. We had a Strawberry Shortcake Princess party and nearly every aspect of this cake was inspired from the invitation. 10, 8 and 6 inch layers covered in MMF. Tiara is a plastic tiara and ribbon is real ribbon. Garland swags, strawberries and pearls all MMF with the exception of the pearls on the middle layer that were purchased edible pearls. Swirls on top layer are royal icing. A lot of planning and work, but I was SO happy with this cake....

There were only about 35 people or so invited....maybe 25 or so were here. We're still eating cake! :lol: I made it as small as I could and still get all the details I wanted in it! Thanks for all the nice comments!

WOW!! I just did a Princess Strawberry Shortcake for my 4 year old and it looked NOTHING like this. Yours is simply gorgeous and now I wish I saw this first.

If you don't mind, I would like to use some ideas from this cake for my daughter's cake! How did you get the pink swirls (top layer) to look shiny?

The pink swirls on top were done with royal icing on a sheet of wax paper. While still attached to the wax paper, I painted with super pearl luster dust, let that dry, then removed from the wax paper (yes, quite a few broke). Then I applied them to the fondant with a little royal. Hope this helps. And no, I don't mind if you use some of the ideas. Have fun and let me know if there's anything I can help you with!
