Ingredients
Before we begin, gather the following ingredients:
– 1 box of your favorite cake mix
– 1 can of vanilla frosting
– 1 package of fondant in your preferred color
– Edible glitter or sparkling sugar
– Royal icing or white frosting
– Piping bags and tips
– A cake turntable or a flat surface
– A small round cookie cutter
– A spatula
– A knife
Instructions
1. Bake the Cake: Start by following the instructions on the cake mix box to bake your cake. Once the cake is done, let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the Fondant: While the cake is cooling, prepare the fondant by kneading it until it becomes smooth and pliable. If the fondant is too dry, add a small amount of water; if it’s too sticky, sprinkle a little powdered sugar.
3. Shape the Crown: Roll out the fondant on a flat surface until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Use the small round cookie cutter to cut out several circles, which will serve as the crown’s base. Place the circles on a flat surface to dry slightly.
4. Create the Crown Base: Take one of the fondant circles and place it on the cake turntable or flat surface. Using royal icing or white frosting, attach additional fondant circles to create the crown base. Allow the icing to dry before adding more layers.
5. Shape the Crown Details: Once the base is dry, use the remaining fondant to create the details of the crown, such as the spikes, jewels, and decorative elements. Roll out small pieces of fondant, shape them as needed, and attach them to the crown base using royal icing.
6. Decorate the Cake: Once the crown is complete, frost the cake with vanilla frosting. You can use a spatula to create a smooth finish or leave it a bit rustic for a more whimsical look.
7. Attach the Crown: Carefully place the fondant crown on top of the frosted cake. You can use a small amount of royal icing to secure it in place.
8. Add the Final Touches: Sprinkle edible glitter or sparkling sugar over the cake to give it a royal sheen. You can also add any additional decorations, such as fondant flowers or edible jewels, to complete the look.
