Belle's Birthday Series: The Cake

I've been long preparing for my little girl's 6th birthday celebration.  She has requested me to bake a cake with Rapunzel on her tall tower!  I got my inspiration from a blog shared to me by a Korean Cake Decorator Deborah Hwang.  She was kind enough to give me a link to her blog. Unfortunately, it was written in her native language so I just relied on the photos.  I am really very grateful to her!

May 25 - one day before the big day. I started assembling the cake although I baked them the day before. I only have limited pictures and I always say "Sayang, I should have captured everything in my camera!"

I was too busy and pressed for time I forgot to take pictures.  My hands were so messy all the time.  After more than 6 hours, with breaks in between, the cake was 90% completed. It's already 3am of May 26,  Belle's birthday! 

Of course, I wouldn't have done this without the help of his Daddy.  He prepared all the fondant for me, kneading them patiently to get the right texture.  He also stayed awake even if he was so tired from work and helped with the small decorations. I can't wait for our little girl to see her birthday cake.  I promised that it will be ready by the time she wakes up.  The sun was almost up when I went to bed!

Here are some more pictures of her Tangled Castle Cake.

 

 What a lovely smile from the birthday girl! We love you so much! Happy 6th birthday!
