So......today is Anna's 6th Birthday (photos and festivities to follow) and she wanted a Belle Cake. We are doing a Belle party with her friends next week and my Belle from Beauty and Beast is coming......I digress.......so I have this big problem with cakes. They NEVER turn out and I mean never. I do cookies and that is about it. (Great cook, horrible baker) So, Since you can't buy these cakes I knew I was going to have to make it and I read many a website on suggestions and how to do this. I felt prepared...................as long as I could get the dumb cake out of the pan. It is not the preparation that is the problem,.......it is getting the cake out. ( I know you all have suggestions on how to do this.........I know I have tried them all.......cakes just hate me). So I tried and of course the cake came out in 3 pieces so I used my mother manipulation power (which I hate to use) and convinced Anna that cupcakes (which are only slighty better then cakes) are the way to go. She agreed. I sent her on her merry way to school and I started feeling sad. She wanted that Belle cake and this is probably the last year she will even like princesses. She is getting so mature you know. So, I made A TON of frosting and went to work. It is not the world's best Princess Cake but my daughter has a princess Cake:
Yes, there are a few holes without frosting because I was trying to make ruffles and yes, there is a tiny bit of frosting in her lucious locks, and yes, I did BREAK the legs off the Barbie to get it to fit (yes, I know I have to buy her a new one to replace) HOWEVER, she has a Barbie Cake and I am just praying that her 6 year old brain is happy with it. (I sent a picture to Tracy and he called me back giggling, how rude). Happy Birthday Sweetie!!
p.s. for the party next week I am buying a cake from Bowman's. So There!!!!

I love that cake, but breaking Barbie's legs? Today is my Dad's birthday, too.
HILARIOUS! I laughed so hard about breaking Barbie's legs. And from the point of view of someone who actually saw the cake: it wasn't bad! I'm way impressed!
O my cuteness. You are the best mom. I would eat that cake!
I liked it! She seemed happy with it too. I always wondered how mom made things like that work... apparently I missed that part of the gene pool! ;)
What a good mommy you are! I'm sure the effort making the cake makes up for the broken doll...
P.S. Line you cake pans with parchment paper and the cakes should pop out without battle wounds.
I thought it was darling! It was yummy too!
I think it looks awesome!!! You did great.
I think it looks FABULOUS!! Better than the real Belle! The Beast will love her even more with frosting in her hair!! So sorry we didn't get Anna called for her birthday! I feel really bad about it! HBD-Anna!! We love you lot's!!
