Disney Princess Cake Includes a Castle Carrying Case

From enchanted castles to children's favourite cartoon characters

The memory Castle cakes are more than just cakes, they are centerpieces to the party. They can be as simple as a sheet cake with a couple castle shaped toppers or as extravagant as piled loaf cakes cut into a castle, complete with moat. Castle cakes come in all shapes and sizes.

This standing cake looks just like the princess herself, and is memorable for the birthday girl to have a cake that looks just like her girls dress up costumes. Decorate the cake as the dolls dress, using the princess Disney costumes as a guide. Strip the doll, wash her quickly, and gently press her into the center of the cake. Bake a cake in a round bundt or bell shaped pan. You'll need a Barbie sized plastic doll for this cake of a Cinderella princess or Snow white princess or other princess of your choice.

CAPS Class and the NY Cake Convention


Two weeks ago I taught a class at the Center for Advanced Pastry Studies (CAPS) at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE), of which I am a proud alumna. These classes are extra special because everyone in the class has at least a working knowledge of sculpted cakes and some have their own businesses. It was a three-day intensive hands-on class...I didn't let them sit for a second! As you can see from the photos they did an amazing job with the gift box cake. It was such a wonderful group of people filled with terrific questions, work ethic and a sense of fun!


My next group class will be at the NY Cake Convention held in New York City on January 2-5th, 2010. I'll be doing a demonstration on Saturday, January 2nd from 9AM-11AM and a hands on class that same day from 1PM-4PM. Sign-up here. There will be many amazing cake designers from all over the world.

And did I mention our first book, The Confetti Cakes Cookbook is in its fifth printing?! Thank you to everyone who has bought our books and for all your wonderful feedback!
Here are some great reviews.

Black and White Cookie&Quot; Cake



One would think that making a cake in the shape of an old-fashioned Black and White cookie would not be too difficult, after all it is round and has just two colors of icing. But what if I told you that the cookie’s diameter was well over two feet and would serve close to 200 people? And did I mention that we do not have a walk-in freezer, therefore we had to build it in four separate pieces all the while making sure it formed a perfect circle, had the sloped sides of a real cookie and the domed middle. It was especially challenging because once the four cakes were “glued” together with buttercream we had to make sure that the “seams” would not show.





I love making cakes that look like real life objects, but I especially like making cakes in the shape of food. We have done sushi platters, a Philly cheese-steak, hamburgers, fries, lobster, etc.
The best way to do this is to go out and buy a smaller version of the item and copy it. You can see our “models” below.


We hope Dan was surprised because apparently Black and Whites are his favorite cookie!
