Barbie Birthday Cake

I was very surprised to not see a recipe for this cake. It is very popular with mothers of young girls. My daughters 4th is tomorrow and I can't wait to see the look on her face when she sees her cake! I welcome as many pics as possible to show all the different styles you can create with this idea. Jan 31st,08 EDIT: I used my Pampered Chef measuring/mixing bowl to bake this in, and it also was too short for the doll to fit down in. I ended up buying a cheap dime store imitation that had hollow legs and just cut them off at the correct height.

I posted the picture on here. I used Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake and split it into 3 bowls (per the idea of Chief Cook and Bottlewasher)... I cooked it nearly an hour; I was getting anxious about the possibility it wouldn't cook all the way through but it finally did. I then used the buttercream icing (along with 10 cups of confectioners sugar) along with some help from the freezer. I used WalMart red decorating icing to do the frills at the bottom, flavored fun marshmallows for flowers around the dress, candy lettering for her name and happy birthday, and blue candy things I found on the baking isle at WalMart. It took five hours. At the end I put icing on the two pink candles, put them in Barbie's hands, and stuck it in the freezer. It turned out looking awesome. Very proud.

    I used this recipe except I made the Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake & Frosting (Magnolia Bakery's Vanilla Birthday Cake and Frosting) instead of a cake mix. That cake tastes great and it all turned out nicely. I made it with a Tinkerbell doll instead of Barbie. Tinkerbell is shorter but she still stuck out above a bit. I just blowsed her little short dress over the cake and it looked fine.

    cant say about the recipy but as a tip for the doll i tolk the legs off the Barbie because she was too tall for the cake... butiful job on the decoration of the dress! you can also use marshmelows cut in half and cris-cross cut half way to make flowers on the dress...
