Princess Crown Cake Recipes

PRINCESS CROWN CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make and bake cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 10 minutes. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake; remove from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place cake in freezer 30 minutes before cutting to reduce crumbs.

• Frost with thin layer of frosting to seal in crumbs. Freeze about 30 minutes to set frosting. Frost entire cake.
• Line cookie sheet with waxed paper. In 1-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave baking chips uncovered on Medium (50%) 30 seconds. Stir; microwave in 10-second increments, stirring after each, until melted and smooth. Place in small resealable food-storage plastic bag; seal bag. Cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to pipe star and squiggle shapes as desired on waxed paper; immediately top with sprinkles. Refrigerate 10 minutes to set.
