It’s true, I made a Princess Diana Wedding ceremony costume birthday cake! 
I felt so intelligent once I considered it.

I keep in mind my pals daughter having a Barbie cake a few years in the past so when this concept popped into my head I actually felt like I used to be past artistic. In fact I washed her as a result of um classic mud doesn’t style good.
I had the costume made at a grocery retailer bakery and the cream cheese frosting was the right colour to match her ivory costume! Ordering this and making it work was a bit extra difficult which I’ll clarify on the finish of this publish. It was price it as a result of the response on my pals faces when the realized what it was, was really priceless and memorable. I like giving my greatest pals an expertise!
I used a Mackenzie Childs metallic planter desk that may flip over to fill with ice for drinks, or flip to be a desk.

Then, the Princess Diana’s began to reach. We screamed and laughed, admired, and cheered at how everybody regarded of their outfit and wig.
