Ingredients
- Cake Mix (vanilla, pink velvet, or your favorite)
- Eggs
- Oil
- Water or Milk
- Buttercream Frosting (various shades of pink)
- Edible Glitter and Sprinkles
- Barbie Doll (clean)
- Cake Boards
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour cake pans. Prepare cake batter according to mix instructions or homemade recipe. Divide batter evenly and bake until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Level cooled cakes with a serrated knife. Stack cake layers on a cake board with buttercream frosting between each layer. Insert a clean Barbie doll into the center, ensuring it’s secure. Carve the cake around the doll to create a smooth, dress-like shape.
- Apply a crumb coat of buttercream frosting and chill for 30 minutes. Frost the cake with a final layer of buttercream, creating a smooth finish. Use piping tips to add decorative details like ruffles, rosettes, or swirls. Finish with edible glitter and sprinkles.
- Add final embellishments like fondant accents, sugar pearls, or edible flowers. Ensure the Barbie doll is securely in place and the cake is stable before presenting.
Notes
- Use completely cooled cakes before frosting to prevent melting.
- Always apply a crumb coat and chill the cake before the final frosting layer.
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best taste and texture.
- Experiment with different decorating techniques and color combinations.
