Princess Barbie Cake

After surfing the web for about a week looking for a Barbie cake to make for my two grandchildren's sleepover, I came across a web site with a tutorial.

I watched and learned. I purchased the rolled fondant and other ingredients and crossed my fingers. I have never worked with fondant and had never heard of it. I took a deep breath and got started.

I prepared the cakes from scratch, flour, sugar, eggs, sour cream,...etc (homemade pound cake), and refrigerated like instructed. Once the cake were cooled enough, the fun part started, DECORATING, I rolled the fondant with a rolling pin, and placed it on the top of the cake, being careful not to tear the fondant.

I proceeded to smooth the fondant over the cake and returned back to the refrigerator. Once this was done the cake was ready for decorations.

I placed Barbie in the center of the cake, (i used a bundt pan), filled the hole in with icing and some pieces of cake that I shaved off the make the cakes even.

I then positioned Barbie and packed buttercream icing all around her so she would not move, returned cake to refrigerator again. I used tubed icing with a rose tip, some hearts from Valentines day and some netting to make a glowing effect, (along with the sparkle glitter)and to my surprise, it all came together.

The grandchildren were ecstatic and everyone loved the cake. The grandchildren didn't want to cut it because it was so beautiful. Hope you enjoy it. This project was fun to make

Oh this is good!
Very sweet...you did a great job!

I've only covered an entire cake with fondant twice and I am not good at it. I do use it to add trim on buttercream, much less nerve racking! lol

Keep making cakes and sending them in!

very beautiful!!
by: Nancy

I love all the doll cakes, they are always so beautiful and takes us back to when we were little girls. I can understand why they didn't want to cut into it. I have taken decorated cakes to picnics and at the end of the picnic, no one wanted to cut into the decorated one. I always had to go do the first cut. lol That was darling and tell the girls, how lucky to have you@@ Nancy of CA
