Ruffle Cake

My daughter’s birthday was yesterday!  I can’t believe she’s 7- time surely does fly in the overall scheme of things.

She loves everything pink and girly, so I decided to make her a pink ruffle cake.  I’ve never done anything like this before.  I turned to this video for guidance, and here’s how it turned out:

I love it!  It’s perfect for her.  While my technique needs a little work to be a little more precise, I love the overall effect of the ruffles.  Although, I should’ve gone up just a little bit higher and it really bothers me when I look at it!

I also made this little paper dress cake topper, inspired by this one at Composing Hallelujahs.  I just made it a little shorter so it looks like a tutu.  Love it! I’m sharing this here:  come along with me!
