How to Make a Small Fondant Crown
A princess crown cake with a gumpaste crown is a perfect cake for a little princess. I created this watercolor effect with petal dust and made this gumpaste tiara without any molds. It was so easy I had to make a video to show you how.
I recently made this cake for a little girls 6th birthday celebration. The mother said she wanted a princess theme cake but not really a princess doll cake. So I decided to make her an edible princess crown and gave it a little whimsical watercolor effect cake in pink and peach.
Which girl doesn't love pink, pearls, cameo, ruffles, and of course a crown? Needless to say, she loved it !!!
I've been wanting to make a few basic videos especially for the beginners out there. I thought this would be a great addition.
The videos do not cover the basics on how to buttercream or ganache the cake and get sharp edges on fondant. I have shared these separately on the blog.
- How to get sharp edges on Buttercream Cakes
- How to get share edges on Ganache Cakes
So I made two videos - Gum Paste Princess Crown and Cake
- In the first video which is in the recipe card below, I've have shown you now I make a gum paste tiara or princess crown without any molds and
- In this second video, I show you how I created the cake, watercolor effect, cameo, pearls, ruffles, painting, etc.

- When dried use melted chocolate to place some pearl dragees
Bake and frost the cake
