Princess Tiara and Buttercream Ruffle Cake Tutorial
The cake itself has an eight-inch tier on the bottom and a six-inch tier on top. Each tier is about four inches tall with four layers of vanilla cake (colored pink, of course!) and vanilla frosting in each tier.
I coated each tier with a layer of buttercream frosting and covered them with white fondant. Several people have asked me what I use for fondant, so if you're wondering, I typically just buy Wilton rolled fondant (from Walmart or Amazon -- usually cheaper at Walmart) or Satin Ice vanilla fondant from Amazon. For me, it is much easier and quicker than making my own.
