For Ada’s Princess Birthday Party, she wanted a PINK PRINCESS CAKE! I made the same Homemade Yellow Cake from Smitten Kitchen that I made for Matt’s Birthday, then topped it with Joy the Baker’s Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting. The result was this perfectly pink concoction that hit the spot! I put a plastic tiara on top and called it good.

My friend Melissa was so thoughtful and grabbed my camera, I wouldn’t have any pictures of me or the cake action if it wasn’t for her! Thanks :)
