I just had my daughter's 3rd birthday party today.....her theme was Disney princess....so i dolled her all up in sleeping beauty's dress, tried to curl her hair (which did NOT work lol) But anyways, the entire reason i got into cake decorating this past few months was to make HER cake. I made a castle cake, took me about 6-7 hours to do it, and it was fun! A little sloppy but way better then my first castle lol. The pic is in my photos. but don't you jus tlove putting all that effort into decorating the house, AND the cake and it's all over in a flash??? *sigh* then you're stuck with the clean up! it was a lot of fun and everyone loved the cake, so thanks to everyone (especially cambo) for thier help.

very cute cake! I know what you mean - I got into decorating to do cakes for my boys. Just celebrated my youngest sons 4th birthday today and it was chaos but to see his little happy face is so worth it. I'll post pics later - I'm still trying to recover!!

that's the same reason I got into cake decorating, I alway had bad experience with bakaries everytime I order cakes for my kids b'days so I started doing it myself and now I'm hooked.. Your cake it's adorable

Your cake is really very nice!

I want to do a 3D castle one of these days...

Great job!

Cute cake, I want a little girl to make that stuff for.

I know what you mean about it all being over and you left with a mess. I'm sitting here instead of picking up from my son's party, the house is trashed.

That is a cute cake!!! I feel the same way you do about birthdays, Christmas and any holidays. You spend so much time preparing cooking/baking, etc and it is all over in just a few minutes.

Even though it is over with so quickly ~ the memories your little girl will have of that cake and party will be with her the rest of her life!!!

The cake is FABULOUS!!!! Excellent job!

Quadcrew is right... these are such special memories for our children. I still remember the banana loaf my Mum made me when I was about 5. and looking back it was just covered in icing with a plastic ballerina on top... nothing fancy but I will never get a better cake till the day I die

Well done you should be really proud of yourself!

Boy can I ever relate! We just had my son's 7th birthday party yesterday. I did a star wars cake (I have not posted the pic yet) with very blue icing it was so funny watching all the kids and adults leave the party with bright blue mouths! LOL!

Your cake looks awesome! Your little girl must have been thrilled!

the cake is wonderful!!! You did a super job and I think it is great you dressed her up to go with the theme

You won't believe how fast she will grow up...it will seem like a flash to you. My kids are 29 and 31 and I wonder where the time went!!

Enjoy every moment of it!
