Cover the dress in frosting and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Use strips of white fondant to cover the area of the dress tac will be exposed when the yellow dress is lifted up. (not I did this step later int eh video but decided it would be easier to do it first so you don&#8217;t damage the yellow fondant).<\/p>\n<p>Wrap a rectangle of yellow frosting around the cake.  Trim off the excess at the bottom and use a piece of fondant to smooth down the dress.  Squeeze it in at the waist and use a trim off the excess.<\/p>\n<p>Pull and shape the fondant up towards her hand  so that it looks like she is holding the dress.  Trim off some of the fondant at the hem line where the is pulling it up.<\/p>\n<p>Trim around the rest of the dress at the cake board.  <\/p>\n<p>Make a small indent in each crease about two thirds of the way up the skirt.  Take a thin rectangle of yellow and fold it like and accordion.  Pinch it at one end and push into one of the indents.  Gently stretch to the next indent then pinch it and push in.  Repeat all the way around the dress.  Add a gold sugar pearl to the top of each swirl.<\/p>\n<p>Cut a piece for the body that has a &#8216;v&#8217; going down in the centre (see the video).  Wrap that around the body and trim at the back.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P2230713-550x733.jpg\" alt=\"ann reardon princess cake\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-50641\" data-wp-pid=\"50641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P2230713-550x733.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P2230713-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P2230713-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/P2230713-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Roll a snake of yellow then use your little finger to make it skinnier in the centre.
