Princess Clara's Big Cake

Princess Clara's Big Cake on Cake Central

This was a monster cake! 14" and 12" layers, both 4" tall, provided by a local bakery where the mother LOVES their buttercream. Brought to me with only crumb coating and 2 cups of extra frosting. Added my pillow cake on top and additional flourishes to make it match the 23 individual princess cakes that went with this order... will post next.

Roach (okay, seriously, in our industry you should change your screen name!) - I used fondant and let it dry overnight - flipped it over in the morning to dry the other side. Attached with a bit of buttercream and a slight tilt towards cake.

Actually, it wasn't long at all. The mom brought the bottom two layers to me with a crumb coat, so I got to do all the fun stuff and embellishments...which is really the fun part of this hobby, right? :-)
