Barbie Cake

This is the Barbie cake I made for my nieces 4th birthday. It was so fun to make for her, and once again I learned a lot! The dress is fondant, the drop flowers are royal icing, and everything is stuck together with butter cream. The cake underneath is strawberry (of course.) I think I will be dreaming in shades of pink tonight! Because royal icing is so flammable (learned that the hard way!) I made another small cake, covered in pink fondant, just big enough for 4 candles and the words "happy birthday." I took pictures but they were blurry and it isn't too exciting so I left it off the blog.
Barbie Cake Prices: If you provide the Barbie or want a stick Barbie (a Barbie without legs, that would have to be returned to me later) the cost is $20
If I provide the Barbie (you keep the Barbie) the cost is $30
* Please note that due to the shape of this cake, this cake doesn't come with a filling.

Barbie Cake

This weekend I will be making a Barbie cake for my niece who is turning 4. It will be a real Barbie and the skirt is cake. I have high hopes for it turning out really cute! This cake will be extra special because last year we didn't know if this little girl would make it to her 4th birthday. We are all so thankful for the good Doctors at Primary Children's, and the right chemotherapy that has allowed this little girl live to be 4 and want a Barbie cake!
I am off to make the fondant...stay tuned for some cute Barbie cake ideas!
