| My Home Made Rapunzel Cake |
I made this cake for my beloved daughter’s 5 yrs old birthday In Jan 2012 with all her favorite stuff – her favorite princess, fruit & M&M. This is a simple to make cake and for a person who know nothing ‘bout baking that started her 1st ever butter cake baking only in end Nov 2011, I’m glad that I can make this for her. And, if I can do this, am sure everyone else could and would be able to do it even better. :)
This is how I prepare the cake:
I personally like cakes with fruit and think that it would be a healthier and yummier cake esp. for kids. I decided to use purple color for the frosting since Rapunzel colour is purple and it goes well with grapes too. I used the purple gel paste food colouring to make the purple frosting.
To complete the Rapunzel theme, i wanted to have a tower on the cake and did some research on net, found that those tower making are too challenging for me who is not a pro in baking and know nothing ‘bout fondant. Hence, I decided to make use of anything I can find at home to make the tower. Luckily I came across the pepper shaker & ice-cream cone in my daughter’s kitchen play-set and I used those to make the tower wrapped with a green colour string and paste some flower stickers from my daughter’s sticker book to make it the tower feel.
I made a cupcake for the tower base to make the tower look taller on the cake. Then, I used the yellow color icing writer from Wilton to extend the Rapunzel hair and write my daughter’s name as if the name was designed from Rapunzel’s long hair. I finished the cake deco with the grapes surrounded the top & bottom of the cake, added the M&M candies in between.
The cake was well-liked by the kids and a mother told me that her kids even asked for it during supper time. :)

Some guests asked where I buy the cake knowing that I don’t really know baking & some even thought the tower was bought, which made my day! :)
Hope you like this cake too. J
