Pretty Rapunzel Cake

I have been hoping to get a chance to have a go at a Rapunzel cake and the opportunity arose earlier this week when I found out the daughter of a good friend wanted one for her daughter’s fourth birthday. The cake is a chocolate vanilla marble cake with a vanilla bean buttercream icing and all of Rapunzel’s clothes are made from sugarpaste. I took care to wrap Rapunzel’s legs in cling film before putting her into the cake and placed the doll’s clothes in a little bag so that the birthday girl can play with her new doll when the cake has been eaten. (although the mum has said she’s gonna go out and buy a cake for £1 and share it around so she doesn’t have to cut it! I’ve told her she’ll have to eat it sometime! lol)
