Princess theme: cake decorations
Crown cookie cutters, cake toppers, and pastel food coloring for a princess-themed cake or cupcakes.
Cookie cutters and cake toppers
Crown- or dress-shaped cookie cutters cut out cookies or fondant decorations to place on a cake. A crown or name cake topper completes the decoration without any extra modeling.
Pastel palette
Pink, lilac, and gold food coloring, used alone or in gradients, create a pastel base for icing or fondant. Pearl- or heart-shaped sugar decorations add a touch of sparkle.
Frequently asked questions
What background color works best for this theme?
A white or very pale pink background highlights the gold and pastel decorations without making the cake look too busy.
Can the L crown cookie cutter also be used for cookies?
Yes, the same cookie cutter works for both fondant and cookie dough, creating cleanly defined shapes in both cases.
How can you add a gold effect without paint?
Dry-brushing gold powder or coloring onto already-dry fondant creates a metallic effect without the need for liquid food paint.
