Taisen's Frozen Elsa cake
My youngest daughter loves the movie Frozen and for her birthday just last nov ( 2014 ) she was asking for an Elsa cake. I watched some videos on YouTube and did this. This was my first ever attempt at doing a cake that was way more then just baking and frosting lol. This was also my first ever attempt at using fondant. I didn't even know really what it was or where to buy it ! The cake isn't great BUT my daughter loved it and that was all that mattered :)
Taisen's Frozen Elsa cake
My youngest daughter loves the movie Frozen and for her birthday just last nov ( 2014 ) she was asking for an Elsa cake. I watched some videos on YouTube and did this. This was my first ever attempt at doing a cake that was way more then just baking and frosting lol. This was also my first ever attempt at using fondant. I didn't even know really what it was or where to buy it ! The cake isn't great BUT my daughter loved it and that was all that mattered :)
Cooking Instructions
- 1
The doll was taller then the 3 cakes so you might want to make 4 .
- 2
Bake 2 of the cakes as directed in round pans. Set aside to cool.
- 3
Bake the 3rd cake in a deep glass bowl . Set aside to cool.
- 4
I used 3 cakes but if your using a 4 th cake do another round one. Bake as directed on box
- 5
After the cakes are cool. Carefully take the cakes out. On the round cakes slice off the tops to make them flat so you can stack them.
- 6
Take one round cake , put it on a platter , cake holder, or whatever your using to store and put the cake on. Frost the top to kind of act like a glue. Add the 2 nd cake and repeat.
- 7
If your only doing 3 , take the glass bowl cake and place it on top of the 2 round cakes. If you're doing 4 , then add 3 rd round then the glass bowl cake last. Frosting in between each layer of cakes.
- 8
Using a knife , cut a hole in the center top , going down to the last cake. Pull out as much of the inside of the hole as you can. This is to place the doll inside. You don't have to go all the way down unless you want to. I cut the hole after frosting, don't be like me lol
- 9
Frost the entire cake including the sides. Don't over frost as your going to be frosting again. Don't worry about cake pieces either mixed into the frosting.
- 10
Place the cake in the refrigerator or freezer. Let the cake sit in the cold until the frosting hardens enough to do a second coat of frosting. Pull it out and re frost.
- 11
Undress the Elsa doll. Wrap her legs with plastic wrap. Carefully place the doll in the hole in the cake.
- 12
Take your blue fondant and roll it out thin but not to thin. You don't want it to thick as it will not be big enough to cover and wrap around the cake. Cut out a circle to be Elsa's dress. Cut a hole in the center for the doll and cut a line in the back from the hole to the end so that your not placing this over top of the doll . You will wrap the fondant around the doll and cake. Shape it as close as you can to look like a dress. You may have to make adjustments. If the fondant starts to rip, tear, or anything use a little water to smooth it and fix it as best as you can. I can't describe how to make the dress very well . Try to get the hole to be close to the dolls waist. If you can , I wasn't able to because the dress wasn't long enough. Try to make the dress look like it is flowing around her :)
- 13
If there is space around her hips or waist, take some fondant and roll it into a log like shape. Use it as a belt kind of. Try to smooth it going into the dress to make it lool like it is connected.
- 14
If you want to do clothing : use the white fondant. Roll that out thin but not to thin. Cut out 2 long strips to make sleeves. Wrap one long strip along her arm, to get the seem to be smooth and together use water and fingers. Smooth, pinch , shape to her arms. At her wrists cut off excess. For her top , cut out a square big enough to wrap around her body. At the top where it will be near her front top , cut to make it like a bra top part. The shape of the top of a bra or bikini top. Or the bustline maybe a better way to describe this. Shape and mold around the dolls waist, bust line , and back. If there is excess at the back simply cut it off and smooth and push together with a bit of water. You can make a belt if you like or anything else you might want to add. You can also decorate the top with sprinkles , candy, hand drawn with gel or frosting or even stamps .
- 15
If you do it like I did . I didn't do the clothing because the doll I got had the cape and her clothes were on her in plastic . So instead of making a cape I used that. Now if you want to make the cape , I honestly don't know how to but do know it can be done. Use the white fondant for that. - if anyone does the clothing and cape I would LOVE to see it !!
- 16
Decorate the fondant. I used a white gel with sparkles in it to hand draw snowflakes on the dress and write my daughter's name around her waist. I then used white sprinkles to put over top of that to make it look more " snowy " .
- 17
You can decorate the platter or whatever you put the cake on as well. I then took some fondant , rolled it into balls and put the candles in those.

I hope I didn't forget anything ! Enjoy !!

Hina Matsuri Cake Strawberry Angel Chiffon Cake Hina Matsuri Cake Strawberry Angel Chiffon Cake
I wanted to make a Hina doll cake so I tried this. I decided to make a cake based on peach flowers so I chose these decorations. I made the pink cream based on a recipe another user ("uno") recommended to me by lessening the amount of sugar.I used an angel chiffon cake, but of course you could bake a normal chiffon cake and decorate it the same way. It would be cute if you used sponge cake and carved out the middle too. Pick dark colored strawberries to purée for best results. Small strawberries normally make a darker mix. For one angel chiffon cake 15 cm [5.9 in] in diameter. Recipe by ai mama -
