Getting Back Into Cake Decorating

In October, I had the opportunity to make a birthday cake for a friend's daughter. She was interested in a Descendants cake. When she first asked me about it, I had no idea what that meant, but after some googling and research on Pinterest, I figured it out.

A few weeks in advance, I made a fondant apple and crown. The night before, I baked two French vanilla cakes, one 6" contour and one 9" contour. Then on the day of the party I made buttercream icing and covered the cakes in rosettes before applying the apple and crown. It is my first Disney-inspired cake. And I'm very proud of it! It also helped me realize just how much I enjoy the creative process of cake decorating.
