Pretty Princess

Anyone who knows my youngest sister knows that she is a princess and if it is pink and glitters she is all for it. Well it was her 10th birthday last week and I promised her a cake. All she said is that she wanted it pink and purple and no fondant. So this is what I came up with. Everything on the cake is edible except for the crown and the sticks holding up the lid. I was pretty impressed with myself. And it even made the trip home to Illinois without falling apart!

Here is the front, I hope that you can tell it is a jewelry box. The candy goes inside but I didn't want to put it on because I didn't want the icing to smear or the candy to get soggy so just imagine it all in the box instead.

The cake was chocolate with chocolate ganache filling. I iced it in buttercream and used melting chocolate for the lid and dividers.
