The Princess and The Pea


Once upon a time, there was birthday party for a real princess.  But, unlike the Princess and the Pea, she didn't have to prove she was royalty by sleeping on twenty mattresses with a pea hidden underneath.  She just had to put on her crown and start the celebration!  The princess and her friends played games and rode in a horse-drawn carriage and ate cake - a royal event, for sure!


The birthday princess wanted to include a frog too, even though, technically, there's not one in the traditional story.  But hey, when you're a princess you can make your own fairy tale, right?  I love that!


Does anyone else remember "Once Upon a Mattress" starring Carol Burnett as Princess Winifred the Woebegone?  It's my favorite version of this story!

  3. Thanks, Bakeatlove! I use a flat-edged scraper to smooth the buttercream icing and then finish it with a hot spatula. It's way easier to get a sharp edge with buttercream than with fondant! Happy caking!
