The Princess Castle Cake

This is the cake I baked and decorated for N's 4th Birthday. Had some scary moments when the butter cream icing started to melt and separate ('cos I forgot to turn on the aircon in hot humid Singapore) and I thought it would just dissolve in a messy buttery heap! So I had to put it in the fridge every now and then, which fortunately, did the trick. Good thing I started work on it early in the day or I wouldn't have finished it in time for the party.

Anyway, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out in the end. And it apparently tasted good, too - or maybe the guests who said so were just being polite! :)

It also was a perfect opportunity to use this lovely candle train set that Farmor gave to N last year. We realised, after of course, that we should have turned the train the other way so that the number 4 would face the right way in the photo!

And here is my little princess with her castle cake! All in, it was a nice little birthday party and I think N and her friends enjoyed it.
