STEPS IN PREPARING A PRINCESS BIRTHDAY CAKE

• STEP 1 – You need to pre-heat the oven to 160^oC Use a 15-centimeter round cake pan and grease it. You need to make sure that the lining is higher than the top of the pan or tin. Grease and base line a 1 liter oven-proof glass pudding basin to ensure that your cake won’t stick on the pan once you have done baking it.

• STEP 2 – Beat your mixture using your electric beater or your table top mixer nicely and smoothly to ensure that everything mixes well. You’ve got to beat the butter, sugar, vanilla and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until everything looks pale and fluffy. Pour down the eggs one at a time nice and easy on your butter while giving your batter or your mixture a smooth beating before adding the next batch of eggs. Slowly add 1 tablespoon of the plain flour when you notice that the mixture looks slimy rather than a fluffy look. Get down the yogurt beaten in your mixture smoothly until it incorporates well into your mixture.

• STEP 3 – Mix all the flours and use a large metal spoon in folding the batter and transfer it into the prepared tin. You can now see that the mixture will come to the top, put the bowl and cake tin on a baking tray. You got to bake it in the oven for 1 hour and 40 minutes to 1 hour and 5 minutes. Take it out of the oven and allow the cakes to cool completely at room temperature.

• STEP 4 – Prepare to make your butter icing, put your butter into a bowl and beat it well until it gets soft. Slowly put the icing on sugar and beat it nice and smooth. Trim the cake tops and slice the pudding basin cake in three and slice in half the 15 centimeter cake. Use a 5 centimeter round cutter and stamp out the center of each piece of cake.

• STEP 5 – You need to place half of the 15 centimeter on your cake board. Make sure it lays flat on your board. Spread a little butter icing and place the other half on top. Spread a little icing on this layer and top with the widest layer of the basin cake. Repeat the steps on the other layers and spread the remaining butter icing all over your assembled cake. Just make sure you do everything evenly.

• STEP 6 – Take about 250 grams of white fondant icing and roll it into a long strip about 7 centimeters wide. You got to press gently the edges with a teaspoon to give the edges a frilled effect. You can use a ball tool if you have some. Slowly attach the base of the cake and nuzzle it gently into the icing.

• STEP 7 – You have to roll out the pink icing into a large circle about 36 centimeters in diameter. You need to cut a hole from the center using your 5 centimeter cutter. Cut a portion under an eight sections of the icing. Drape the icing over the cake, making a joint in the back area. Push the pink fondant to create a swagged look with an even interval. By this time, you will see the cake form slowly forming.

• STEP 8 – Get your edible lustre and spray your cake lightly with it. Take your princess doll and wrap the legs in a clean plastic film. Slowly place the doll in the cake. The top of the cake would have to come to hip, not on the waist level. Use the trimmings on rolling out an oblong pink icing and wrap it around the doll’s body. Slowly smoothen up the doll’s bodice into the top of the doll’s skirt.

• STEP 9 -Roll out some of the white fondant and cut it into 9 centimeters circle using a flower cutter or fluted cutter. Cut a small circle from the center and split one side and place around the waist of the doll and cut the excess to make it look nice. Use the remaining white icing to make an enormous bow and place it on the back of the doll’s waist. You are now getting excited as the cake now takes it from nice and easy.

• STEP 10 – Slowly make the royal icing by following the instructions on the pack. Use a piping bag fitted with a small plain icing nozzle. If you don’t have any, you use a strong and thick plastic bag and cut off the tip for putting up the icing. Pipe around the icing on the edge of the skirt and attach a rose at the top of each swag. Slowly pipe the three lines of dots above the roses leading up to the doll’s dress.

• STEP 11 – You’ve got pipe up slowly the bodice of the doll and on the front. Use the icing on attaching a sugar butterfly on the top of the doll’s bodice and one large sugar rose at the doll’s waist. Your cake is now ready and we are sure that your girl is going to have a blast.
