I stumbled across Pink Cake Box!! Perhaps a few of you know the talented Anne Heap!! Well she and her team of talent happen to make amazing cakes, but the one I fell in love with and HAD to make my own version of, is her Dress Form Cakes! AMAZING!! Other than her beautiful cake photos there are NO real tutorials on how to make a dress form cake! So I ventured out and used the ole noggin and came up with my own version. Want to see it??? Here it goes!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I went to Michael's and found an oval shaped wooden plaque small enough to work as the base of the dress form and to serve as a strong support to hold the cake layers and fillings. I then picked up a square thin plywood for the base of the stand and glued that on top of 1" thick form core board. I found a sliver candle stick holder and thought it was perfect to complete the look of the dress form stand. I glued the candle stick to the plywood and the bottom of the oval shaped plaque. I then drilled a small hole into the the middle of the oval plaque and glued a 12" wooden dowel into the drilled hole to create a middle support for the cake layers. I let everything sit overnight for the glue to set firm and strong.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

My good friend Pam is who believed in me enough to ask me to make her daughter's cake... and every since then, back in October 2010 I have been on this cake decorating journey!! Thanks Pam... and the lady still asks me to make her special treats for her special people. These beautiful cupcakes are for her mother, Juanita's birthday! <br />

So excited that Disney created an African American Princess!! Of course Tiana is all the rage with all little girls and I am only so delighted to be able to recreate her in a cake! <br />
<br />
I have done a few Tiana cakes and this one by far is my best! Mainly because I actually took a basic cake decorating class back in November where I learned cake decorating from the ground up... starting with the right batter!<br />

This was my first carved cake and had studied and research online how other people created theirs and finally decided to sandwhich to cakes together, one for the house, and one for the roof! It was challenging. I made a yellow cake with chocolate buttercream filling, covered in fondant to create the house!<br />
