My oldest daughter requested this cake for her sixth birthday. Since it was for her birthday I let her decorate the cookie crowns. She had a blast doing it.
Cookie Crown Cake
Ingredients:
2/3 cup all purpose flour
1- 16 1/2 ounce roll refrigerated sugar cookie dough
decorating sugar, any color desired
32 ounces white frosting, approximately
candy decorations, I used skittles
2- 8 inch round cakes
Directions:
Knead the flour into the cookie dough to firm it up. On a floured surface roll the dough into a 1/4 inch thick rectangle. Using the template, cut out as many cookies as you can. Reroll the dough scraps and continue cutting out cookies until you have 12 (11 for the cake and 1 for back up).
Transfer the cookies to a parchment lined or silpat lined baking sheet. Sprinkle them generously with decorating sugar. Bake according to to package directions until they are golden brown around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Use 1/2 cup of frosting to decorate the cookies and add candy directions as desired. Allow frosting to set for at least 1 hour before handling the cookies.
Trim top of one cake to make it flat, if needed and place it on a serving platter. Spread a thin layer of frosting on top. Place other cake on top with rounded side up. Frost the cake. Use the back of a spoon to draw the frosting on top up to a point.
Carefully press the cookies around the side of the cake and use the remaining frosting to pipe lines of frosting in between the cookies to secure them.
Enjoy!!!
