I am an avid American Girl doll lover and when I had my little girl, I started her out on Day 3 we have been playing with these dolls. The only birthday theme I wanted to do was an American Girl doll theme but there isn’t any thing out there in that theme for a 1st birthday so I had to come up everything on my own.
I had to do a Bitty Baby cake but since this was my 2nd birthday cake ever to make, I wasn’t sure what to do. Finally, I decided to get a cheap Bitty Baby that looked like her off of eBay. I took the stuffing out and put the cloth body part in a quart size plastic bag with legs and arms poking out of holes I made in the sides and bottom of the bag. I taped the bag to the arms so no cake could get it. Then I zip locked the top of the bag. Next, I bought a Cabbage Patch Kid cake pan off of eBay and used the dress only. (I had to cut off the head, legs, and arms of the CPK). I used a Bitty Baby bonnet and shoes.
Then I used a strawberry cake (which became the dress from the CPK pan) and painted it with white frosting. I then copied the trim on the bonnet onto the cake. I made a cake pillow to help prop the head up so it would go into the cake and the eyes would open some. I had forgotten to put oil in the first cake mix so decided instead of wasting it I would crumble it up the rest of the way and use it as a pink blanket for the baby to lie on.
This homemade American girl bitty baby 1st birthday cake was a hit and my daughter loved it. I was thrilled with it. Although it wasn’t perfectly sculpted, it was definitely one of a kind.
creepy.
This is absolutely adorable. Thanks for sharing.
American girl dolls and bitty baby’s are so cool
Didn’t it ruin the doll?
very creepy.
Wow… I’m going to have nightmares.
Very strange indeed, and I’m guessing expensive
I can tell a lot of thought was put into this, and it’s creative, but definitely quite creepy. The baby just lays there while everyone cuts themselves a piece of cake off the body. o_o
Cute cake, but very odd that you chose to make a cake that looks like a baby. You do realize that cakes are meant to be eaten, right? Babies on the other hand, not so much.
That is super creepy. I love american girl dolls but way to creepy.
This is really disturbing!
I think this is an interesting idea. Not creepy at all. It’s just a doll. Not a real baby. Same principle as a princess cake I’d say. Lol.
After that someone will have to lick the baby clean!!
a little wild!
this is a bit weird and creepy. :0
I love Americangirl!!!!!!!!!!!
cute but scary..
We can’t stop laughing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is a cool cake and it is not creepy and if you actually read the info on this cake it might help
