It Was Supposed To Be A Princess Cake, Ha!

It Was Supposed To Be A Princess Cake, Ha! on Cake Central

This was the worst cake I have done in a long time. I thought this pillow cake would be nice and easy, but so many things went wrong. The fondant covering the cake was not pliable enough. The Rope kept sliding off the cake even after applying a fondant glue mixture of meringue powder and water. I initially made a crown out of royal icing, but it crumbled. So I ran out to a dollar store and bought a tiara. It was really a complete nightmare. Any suggestions on how I could have improved it???

I think it looks great. Maybe some crisco worked into the fondant would make it more pliable though.

It's absolutely gorgeous, and I'm sure Brittany will love it. I would be quite pleased with myself if I were you.

thanks for the compliments, but I was a nervous reck on the inside when they came to pick up the cake:(
