Barbie Girl


A Barbie cake for a 4th birthday party. So cute! The birthday girl loaned me the Barbie doll to construct the cake around (the top was printed and embossed on the doll - no extra piping required). The cake itself was a Neopolitan cake, chocolate and strawberry layers with chocolate and vanilla frosting. I built the cake and then carved it to be more or less in the shape of a large ball gown skirt. Lots of piping ensued! Ruffles and flowers/stars with metallic pink dragees. For the final touch I airbrushed gold lustre dust on the lower half of the skirt. A real Barbie princess, which also tasted great!

(No Barbies were harmed in the making of this cake).
