Princess Harper's birthday cake

This past weekend was Harper's 3rd birthday party. Since she was having a princess themed party, I thought I would attempt to make a 'real' cake instead of cupcakes. I worked for several days on this and was pretty happy with how it turned out. I learned a lot about making cakes in the process and am excited for my next opportunity to try again. So here it is. Keep in mind that this was my first attempt. Don't mind the lumps!
