Princess and the Frog Birthday Cake

A friend asked me to make her daughter a princess cake but wanted something a little different to the 'Barbie' style cake that I had previously done. I have the Debbie Brown Book ' Gorgeous & Gruesome Cakes for Children' and in there she has a beautiful design which I thought I would try out. This is my interpretation.

 I was really pleased with the skirt of the dress. It is the first time I have tried to represent the natural folds and movement of the material. In the original design there is more detail to the bottom of the skirt, but I liked the simplicity of this. I still need some practice on getting hands looking feminine, but on the whole I am please with how this one has turned out.
