It's harder than I thought. And I wasn't aiming high.
Tomris wanted a princess cake. I bought cake mix, someone gave me good ole American pre-made-yellow-dye-5-and-6, sugar-and-palm-oil-based-with-high-fructose-corn-syrup-on-top - vanilla frosting. I also bought chocolate whipped cream topping because Tomris like the picture with strawberries and INSISTED this was her princess cake. So I bought a kilo of strawberries as well. I also have some sprinkles, jello and marshmallows I might add because... why not? I mean, what is a princess cake anyway - other than everything you shouldn't all mixed together?
The cake stuck to the pan (it always sticks to the pan!) and I peeled off in pieces and glued it together with the frosting. I have a cake decorator tool - I tested out some designs and it turns out I'm terrible at that as well. The cake platter, princess on top (stuck inside jello) and sparklers will be used as distraction.
Good thing she's three and we're both not perfectionists.
