My daughter wanted a princess ball theme for her third birthday. She was getting a new Barbie doll as a gift so it worked perfectly to place in the cake.
I used a Pyrex style glass bowl to bake the cake in. Which worked pretty good other than I wished I would have measured the depth before I baked it as Barbie was a little tall. But some tape and leg bending worked. Once the cake was cooled down (I left it in the fridge over night) I cut a hole in the center for Barbie to stand in.
I used butter icing on the whole cake. After caked was all iced I place some candy sprinkles over the dress. It was a huge hit at the party. Looking back I wished I would have made a small 9X9 inch cake for the dress to sit on (this would have helped with the height difference) as there was no where to place any candles.
