Barbie Cake

Here is a picture of the cake made for my youngest daughter, and a shot of her with her pink cake batter.

She requested the colors pink, green and purple for her dress- which came off ok. The edges were painted with gold luster dust and the whole thing sprayed in shimmer dust- which I am totally addicted to. Not the best cake ever made by me, but it made my daughter squeal with delight, and that's all that matters.

If you've never made a fondant cake before, I suggest trying one of these. They are so easy!

You'll need a stainless steel bowel for the dress, along with at least 1 layer of 8" cake (you'll flip the bowl upside down and stack it onto the 8")

Let it cool, fill it, and then stick your new barbie in (hint- pin hair up using straight pins) Make sure to wrap her up tight in saran before inserting her.
Ice, then roll fondant really thin. Lay the fondant around the sides, making sure your seam is in the back. To make the top part of her dress simply wet her slightly, and cover in fondant- seam in the back. Decorate to your hearts desire!
