OK. So I tend to procrastinate when it comes to birthday things. Brett can attest to that. Reason number 428 that I'm not going to be nominated for Mother of the Year anytime this century. So when I finally got around to calling our friend and talented cake decorator, Tricia Harris, the weekend of Makena's party she had already been booked for her first wedding cake (see? talented.).
Well, what's a non-artistic mom to do when her daughter has had her heart set on a "Princess cake just like Sophie's" since February? Non-artistic mom borrows the ball gown cake pan and tries on her own. I hadn't intended to use fondant but my curiosity got the best of me. I realize that, compared to Tricia's stunners, it's hardly recognizable but I think it'll pass with the 5 year old set!
Things I realize:
* yes, girlfriend does have her hair up in a clip, but her icing needs to be drier before we release the mane and find a crown of some sort.
* I'm well aware that Sleeping Beauty's gown is supposed to be long-sleeved. Clearly, Sleeping Beauty didn't live in the South during a heatwave. Sleveless it is!
* she needs her colors done somewhere. Wrong color lipstick. No control over that one.
I'll call Tricia earlier for Reese's cake.
