barbie doll birthday cake

barbie doll birthday cake
My little gal requested the Barbie doll birthday cake for her birthday this year, and I happily obliged. It seems like I have made this type of cake for my girls at least twice before- it’s the classic princess party cake. I definitely asked my mom to make me this type of cake over and over.

Here are a couple of tips for making a barbie doll dress cake:

-I have found that Bratz dolls are actually easier to use than Barbies because their feet and shoes come off at the ankle making them shorter and it’s much easier to bake a dress that is not so extremely tall.

-No need to buy any fancy cake pans- it’s all about the Pyrex bowl when it comes to baking the nice rounded dress shape.

-Then make another round cake to stack the round Pyrex part on- making it just the right height.

As you can see I accidentally grabbed a bag of peanut M&Ms instead of regular and had to make it work. But any candy such as Skittles would make a great embellishment.  The finished product was a big hit with all the party goers.
