6-20-09 This is actually a replica of Cinderella's dress that the mice and birds made for her, that eventually got ripped to shreds by her step-sisters. I thought that to be kind of appropriate since we would be cutting it to pieces in the end. The dress was a cream cheese pound cake in doll cake pan form, with 3 more layers of 2" cakes to get enough height to put an actual doll in the middle. All the icing was butter cream that was hand smoothed, colored, and piped by yours truly. I couldn't get bows to look like anything other than a mess of frosting, so I ended up buying some fabric ones at Joanns. They just so happened to match the color I had tinted the frosting perfectly. The torso of the doll was also decorated with butter cream. The cupcakes were strawberry with canned vanilla frosting and jumbo confetti sprinkles. The cupcake papers and crown toothpicks were a Wilton combo thing.
