My daughter demanded a Cinderella themed party for her third birthday. I admit, I was lazy, and didn't feel like making fondant, so I attempted all buttercream. I DEFINITELY need a ton more work with buttercream, and think I could have done a much better job on this cake. My lack of experience, combined with decorating the cake last minute, midnite the nite before the party, made for a below par cake for me... But, my daughter LOVED it, which was the most important thing! (Plus, all that buttercream was sure yummy!) LOL
