You do not need to level the 5th cake layer that will go on the top. If you struggle to get your cake layers even on both sides with a knife, a cake leveler is a great tool that makes the process foolproof. You can pick up a cake leveler for just a few bucks and they make leveling cakes so easy. Use a cake leveler or a sharp knife to level four of the cake layers. To prepare the pans, place a circle of parchment paper on the bottom and then grease the paper and the sides of the pan very well.

We will end up with 6 total cake layers, but it’s better to have too many than too few.įive layers of cake will be the perfect height for Cinderella’s dress. Since we need 5 cake layers and a box of cake mix makes two 8-inch cakes, we will need to bake 3 boxes of cake mix. Our pretty Cinderella cake boasts 5 cake layers that are 8 inches in diameter.

I bet your little girl would love it too. She was so happy and excited about this cake.
Lucky for her, the doll is in perfect condition and she got to play with it immediately after her party. Her first question was “Can I take Cinderella out and play with her?” We made this Cinderella cake for my niece’s 4th birthday party and it was a big hit!
