Add the cake layers in order with buttercream in between each one and a cake board in the centre (see the video for demonstration).  If you are not suing the cake on the same say you may like to add simple syrup to the cake.  Simple syrup is made by heating together equal parts of sugar and water until it dissolves, then leaving it  to cool.<\/p>\n<p>Hold the template in front of the cake lining it up with the shoulders and then just trim around the template.  Remove the template and use your knife to round out the corners.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the whole thing in frosting then use a piece of acetate to smooth it out.  Place it in the fridge for about an hour to firm up.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190656-550x413.jpg\" alt=\"ballerina cake tutorial\" width=\"550\" height=\"413\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-52341\" data-wp-pid=\"52341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190656-550x413.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190656-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190656-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190656-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Add some fondant top part of the cake smoothing it down with your hands.<br \/>\nRoll out some fondant for the dress and cut around the top of the template just letting your knife go straight out for the back of the dress so we can wrap it around.<\/p>\n<p>slightly dampen the back of the fondant and place it onto the cake.  Position the top where you want it then wrap the rest around the back.

Cut a strip of white and add it down over the join of the ruffle on both sides.  Then add more strips criss crossing across the front.<\/p>\n<p>Place the cake on the top of your cake stand or plate.  Roll out some white very thinly and add it around the base of the cake.  Once you have the first layer in place cut thinner strips and place them ruffled around just the edge.  Once you&#8217;re happy with the amount of ruffles add another strip of fondant over the top to make it look like it is a full skirt.<\/p>\n<p>Using royal icing pipe dots around the join of the skirt to the body and add some lines coming out like a lace type pattern on top.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190919-e1489729713879-550x733.jpg\" alt=\"ballet cake how to\" width=\"550\" height=\"733\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-52340\" data-wp-pid=\"52340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190919-e1489729713879-550x733.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190919-e1489729713879-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190919-e1489729713879-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190919-e1489729713879-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\", \n  \"@type\": \"Recipe\", \n  \"name\": \"Ballerina Cake\",\n  \"image\": \"https:\/\/www.howtocookthat.net\/public_html\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/P2190743-e1489729732648-550x733.jpg\",\n  \"description\": \"Pretty ballerina cake recipe for all those girls who train hard so they can dance gracefully and make it look easy.\",\n  \"keywords\": \"ballerina, cake, birthday cake, girls birthday cake, easy, best, how to cook that, ann reardon, dessert\",\n  \"author\": {\n    \"@type\": \"Person\",\n    \"name\": \"Ann Reardon\"\n  },\n  \"datePublished\": \"2017-03-17\",\n  \"prepTime\": \"PT60M\",\n  \"cookTime\": \"PT30M\", \n  \"totalTime\": \"PT90M\", \n  \"recipeCategory\": \"dessert\", \n  \"recipeCuisine\": \"American, French\", \n  \"recipeYield\": \"25\", \n  \"nutrition\": {\n    \"@type\": \"NutritionInformation\",\n    \"calories\": \"\"\n  },\n  \"aggregateRating\": {\n    \"@type\": \"AggregateRating\",\n    \"ratingValue\": \"4.5\",\n    \"reviewCount\": \"6\"\n  },\n\"interactionStatistic\": {\n    \"@type\": \"InteractionCounter\",\n    \"interactionType\": \"http:\/\/schema.org\/CommentAction\",\n    \"userInteractionCount\": \"37071\"\n  },\n\"publisher\": {\n  \"@type\": \"Organization\",\n  \"name\": \"Reardon Media Pty Ltd\"\n  },\n  \"recipeIngredient\": [\n    \"1 and a 1\/2 x the fluffy sponge cake recipe baked in 12 cupcake cases and two 8\u2033 round cake tins.\",\n    \"One quantity of the vanilla buttercream\",\n    \"half a quantity of the chocolate buttercream\"\n  ],\n  \"recipeInstructions\": [{\n    \"@type\": \"HowToStep\",\n    \"text\": \"For the cupcakes roll out some white and pink fondant and cut out 11 heart shapes.\"\n  },{\n    \"@type\": \"HowToStep\",\n    \"text\": \"Then place each one over a cardboard roll and shape it so it curves around.
