I made this Barbie skirt cake for my daughters second birthday (hence it’s only the second cake I’ve done). It is made using a normal round cake tin and then a molded ring tin on top to give the dress its shape. Barbie (minus her legs) then just sat in the hole in the top … Read more
I combined a lot of the ideas I found on this site for a Barbie doll birthday cake along with the ideas of a professional cake decorator. For the very bottom I used half a yellow cake mix (which crumbles less than other cake types) baked in a standard 9″ round cake pan. The middle … Read more
I made this Bratz cake for a friend’s daughter’s 5th birthday. It was quite daunting as a mum of 2 boys but I found lots of inspiration from this website. I baked 2 9inch cakes and sandwiched them with jam and buttercream. I coloured fondant icing pink and covered it. I then drew a picture … Read more
My niece, Montana, wanted a Bratz cake for her birthday and her mom wanted cupcakes for the girls who would be spending the night for the party. So I made a one layer 8″ round cake and decorated it with a Bratz and made cupcakes with colorful sprinkles to go around it. It was a … Read more

While I was at Joann’s buying icing coloring, I saw a Wilton’s “Stand-Up House Pan”, and inspiration struck. First, I used two cake … Read more
I made this Bionicle Mask Cake for my son’s seventh birthday. He loves Bionicles. They are a Lego toy that has a whole story line along with buildable figures, video games, comic books, and even movies. They are very detailed figures, so I focused on the face mask. I first rolled out a large piece … Read more
A friend of mine decided to test my cake skills, and requested a Candy Land Birthday Cake. She had so many suggestions but I told her “I got it”. Her suggestions had nothing to do with the actual game board. I bought bags and bags of candy not knowing exactly what I was going to … Read more
I made this Candyland birthday cake for a friend. Her daughter was turning 4 and wanted a Candyland birthday party. The cake was a half of a sheet white cake with buttercream frosting.
