And then she was FIVE!

Fairies, butterflies, and strawberry shortcake...a special cake for a very special little girl!  It is such a blessing to be part of creating special memories for those you love.

Believe it or not, last year when I made a doll cake for her birthday, she was at first disappointed :(


She was hoping for strawberry shortcake.    

This year it was all dolls, butterflies and strawberries too!

Everyone had fun with this one!

Here is how it went together...

1.  Start with an angel food cake.

2.  Frost the cake with stiffly whipped cream.

3.  Cover with a thin layer of fondant.

Gently place fondant over cake and form to fit cake. (Wilton cake Decorating)

4. Melt white chocolate or almond bark and pipe butterflies on a piece of waxed paper.  Cool until set.

5.  Dip strawberries in melted chocolate.  You can add a little  pizzazz by drizzling white chocolate over the dark chocolate.

6. Use wooden skewers to anchor the fairies in place.


7. Cut little slits into the fondant and randomly place butterflies.






8.  Place a few strawberries on top and on the plate.

Be Creative!!!!!  Enjoy the memories!!!
