Eggless Princess Birthday Cake

This is my first attempt in decorating a cake. I made this for my daughter's second birthday after watching so many cake decoration videos in youtube. I know that the finishing is not perfect but my daughter loved it a lot.What more can be exciting for her than seeing her barbie dressed up in an edible gown similar to hers...
