I've written about my sister, Rebecca in previous posts. She is the light of our family. This past December our "joy child" (as our mom referred to her when she was little) turned sixteen. As you may recall Becca has Down Syndrome, so while she may be sixteen years old she doesn't necessarily enjoy the same things as a typical girl her age.
Specifically, she loves a good princess and Cinderella is one of her favorites. When it came time to design her cake I didn't want it to be a literal Cinderella design. I wanted it to be more age appropriate with "Cinderella-esque" undertones. To that end I borrowed the colors of the character's ball gown as well as the draping from that dress. The "bubbles" are reminiscent of the soap bubbles from the movie. And of course, no princess is complete with out her crown. I added the "R" initial to make it unique for Rebecca.
To help with the visual, here is our princess, Becca:
