Less than a week before Sophia's birthday I got the phone call from my friend that she wasn't going to be able to make Sophia's birthday cake after all. I quickly called another cake-making friend only to find out that she already had a cake due that day. So necessity required me to make the cake myself. I did get a little help with the fondant which I had never worked with before. I am really happy with the results and now I think I have the confidence to attempt more complicated cakes in the future.
The Rupunzel braid was my nine year old son's idea. It was such a tangled mess, it took me days to braid! We used it to decorate the table and wrap around the cake. The night before I had the idea to make a game out of it. Everyone guessed how many times it would wrap around Sophia. The winner got a bag of m&ms.
