Princess Birthday Cake


These cakes were for my nieces' 1st & 2nd birthdays. Each tier is covered in fondant (except for the small cakes which are only covered in buttercream) and then decorated with hand piped buttercream accents. The top cushion cake (yes, this is a cake too!) was my favorite part of the cake and I even made the little pink fondant buttons!
