I made two princess cakes for my daughter’s 2nd and 3rd birthday. The first was a Belle Birthday Cake. I don’t do anything fancy, I buy two boxes of box premade cake mix and bake two round cake pans of the mix. Using floss, I sculpted off the edge to create a dress shape for … Read more
I made this Little Mermaid cake for my daughter’s 3rd birthday. The Ariel Barbie is stuck in a Wilton dress pan cake. I iced the cake, then stenciled the mermaid tail onto the cake and filled it in with tip 16 (star). I then used teal and blue icing (for the ocean look) using tip … Read more
This Ariel Cake was fun to make, but the details were a bit time consuming. I made the cake in a standard 2.5 L Pyrex glass mixing bowl. I then used 3 9″ round cakes on the bottom so the doll would fit inside. I used yellow cake for the top portion and chocolate cake … Read more
I made this Little Mermaid cake with the Wilton doll dome pan. I added a 9″ layer to make it tall enough. The doll was real, the sign was made of paper. Everything else was edible. The fish were gummy fish. Flounder was made from marshmallow fondant, as was the mermaid’s tail.
My nieces are very into the Disney Princesses. My niece Emily wanted a Snow White Birthday Cake. I have done other similar cakes, like Barbie using a special doll top that can be purchased at a craft store that is designed for use on a cake. They have as spike instead of legs. This would … Read more
I have always seen doll cakes but wasn’t really able to find any ideas for Princess Tiana since she is so new. After studying many pictures of her dress I decided to give it a try and this Princess Tiana Birthday Cake was my result. I used the Pampered Chef Classic Batter Bowl to get … Read more
My three year old daughter was over the moon with the character Mariana the Mermaid from the DVD “Dora Saves the Mermaids”. I had to get pretty creative to come up with a Mariana themed birthday party, since there was next to nothing on the market. The one asset I had was a Mariana doll … Read more
My daughter had a Mermaid/Pirate Party for her fourth birthday, so I searched the internet and found some cakes similar to this little mermaid cake for inspiration. I made a cake using a “layered” cake pan that we got at a garage sale. I put that cake on a foil lined pizza pan and frosted … Read more
I removed the legs from the doll and pushed her into the top of the cakes. After that I just tinted the frosting and decorated using a decorator bag and a star tip. My daughter LOVED this cake! I saved the legs from the doll and she got another Barbie when it was all done.
We had a “Barbie Fashion Princess Party” for my daughters 6th. This description is similar to the many descriptions for Barbie cakes you can find on line. I stuck a complete (clean) Barbie down into the cake. I then unmolded the cake onto a glass pedestal cake plate, to make it more “glamorous”. This cake … Read more
Once I had got our Barbie all presentable I wrapped her lower body up in Clingfilm (yes, you could class that as a beauty treatment also!) to keep her from touching the inside of the cake. I baked two 8″ inch round Madeira cakes (with grated lemon rinds and ground almonds) and set to carving … Read more
I used one package of rolled fondant and some pink food coloring. You just kneed it until its all even. I rolled it out approx. 22 inches in diameter and laid it over the Barbie doll cake. Be sure to use powdered sugar when rolling so it doesn’t stick to the surface. To make the … Read more
