Grandmother's Birthday Cake

I wanted to make a beautiful cake for my grandmother's 89th birthday!  I thought ribbons and buttons were appropriate.  This is a vanilla cake with strawberry filling and lemon buttercream.

Disney Princess Castle Cake!




This cake was so fun to make but a ton of work!  I basically worked on it every second that my husband was home to entertain our toddler.  It was nice working on a girly cake!  The 4 y old birthday girl wanted a Disney Princess Cake with a castle, Cinderella, Belle and the Beast.  The figures I made out of rice cereal decorated with fondant.  The cakes are vanilla and vanilla buttercream/filling.  I tried to texture the buttercream then decorated in fondant.  The towers are paper towel rolls covered in fondant and the tops are ice cream cones.
