| Barbie Doll Cake |
This is a simple cake to make at home and you don't have to be a professional at cake decorating.Actually you don't even need to know how to bake a cake !
Materials Required
- 2 Cakes : Bake or buy
- Shape of cake:Use round shaped cakes .We used a flower shaped baking tin for the lower cake but it is hardly visible.
- Size:It is best and easiest to have one cake larger than the other-If you bake equal sized cakes you will need to do quite a bit of carving!
- Type of Cake:It is better to use plain ones without much fruit and nuts as you need to do a little shaping and fruit or nut cakes tend to crumble
- Sharp Knife
- Doll of appropriate size -The doll needs to go partly into the cake so choose the doll accordingly
- Icing of choice- We prefer butter icing at home but fondant icing gives a real professional look
How to Make your Homemade Barbie Doll Cake
Layer both your cakes one on top of the other. Here we have used a plain vanilla cake on top and chocolate cake at the bottom[Reason: My husband gets migraine with chocolate so the plain vanilla cake is for him!]
Shape the sides of the smaller cake to get the gentle slope of a Barbie Doll's dress. Its fairly easy if you use a long sharp knife .
Sandwich the cakes together with a thin layer of icing[This is an optional step-the bottom cake will taste sweeter with a layer of icing]

Insert your Barbie doll into the top of the cake.If your doll is too tall and looks awkward- remove the legs[with permission from the daughter of the house- my daughter was horrified when I discussed this and we had to make her birthday cake 3 cakes tall to help hold the complete Barbie!]The 2 photos above are of a doll cake we made last September.This time I did not remember to take more photos of the making as it was a hurry burry job but you can see how tall the cake is.
