Cakes have become a major part of any special occasion. Whether it’s a birthday, a wedding, or an anniversary, cakes have become a traditional way to celebrate. And when you are planning a Disney themed party, a single tier Disney princess cake is a must-have. Luckily, it’s easier than you think to make a single tier Disney princess cake!
Gather Your Ingredients
Before you start baking, you need to gather all your ingredients. You’ll need one or two boxes of cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. You may also want to pick up some buttercream frosting, food coloring, and decorations. If your Disney princess has a color associated with her, you may want to pick up food coloring in that color.
Prepare Your Cake Pans
Once you have all your ingredients, it’s time to prepare your cake pans. Grease and flour the pans to make sure the cake doesn’t stick. This is an important step - if you don’t take the time to prepare the pans, the cake can stick and ruin the look of your cake.
Mix the Cake Batter
Next, mix the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. If you want to make a colorful cake, divide the batter into two or three bowls. Then mix in the food coloring until you get the desired colors. When the batter is ready, pour it into the cake pans and bake according to the package directions.
Frost the Cake
Once the cake is baked, let it cool completely before frosting. To make a smooth, even layer of frosting, use a spatula to spread it onto the cake. For a more whimsical look, you can use a star tip to pipe the frosting onto the cake.
Decorate the Cake
The last step is to decorate the cake. You can use fondant or gum paste to make the princess figures, or you can buy plastic figurines from the store. You can also use candy to make the decorations - use blue M&Ms for Cinderella’s dress, for example. You can also use sprinkles, edible gems, and glitter to make the cake look even more magical.
Enjoy Your Cake!
Now that your cake is finished, it’s time to enjoy it! You can serve the cake at the Disney themed party, or you can take it to the office or a friend’s house. No matter where it goes, it’s sure to be a hit!
Final Thoughts
Making a single tier Disney princess cake is easier than you think. Just gather your ingredients, prepare your pans, mix the batter, frost the cake, and decorate it. In no time, you’ll have a beautiful cake that will be the star of the show!
