Missing the Best Part

I have to say, my favorite part of making a cake is seeing the reaction of the recipient. Last night (late!) I finished making a Snow White cake for my niece. Her party is this weekend, but we will be away. :-(

So, here's my first attempt at a princess doll cake. (I'm sure they'll be more!)



(I'm a little disappointed that the pearl luster dust on the skirt didn't show up very well, but otherwise, I think she turned out well.)

Beautiful! Far better than many I've seen. What did you bake the skirt in?

I bought the Wilton Classic Wonder Mold pan -- the one basically designed for doll cakes, but useful for other themes, too. You can also use the Pampered Chef Classic Batter Bowl (http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/catalog/product.jsp?productId=211&categoryCode=KW), which is the same shape, although then you lose out on the hollow rod that runs down the center of the Wonder Mold and helps cook the center more quickly.
