Cute Homemade Barbie Birthday Cake with Smash Cake and Cupcakes

My daughter’s first birthday theme was princesses. I wanted to make a Barbie doll cake so,I did, with the help of my mom, and wow was it fun and easy. Only thing is that you do need to make sure the dress is in proportion to the doll’s top part or it looks like she’s on her knees.

I used the Pampered Chef glass measuring bowl and made 2 strawberry flavored cakes and when cooled I sliced about a 2 inch part off the bottom of the bowl form. I put a layer of frosting between the two cakes with bowl tops down, cut a hole down in the middle for the whole Barbie to fit in, then I frosted it and built up frosting under the top layer to even out the dress.

Scalloped the underskirt and used string of pearls around bottom of top-skirt. Smoothed out the dress with a knife dipped in water. Applied some edible glitter and frosted on her top. I made some bows and the hat. Not only did I make one doll, I also made a little one for my daughter to eat.

For the little one I wrapped ribbon around top part of her and tied a bow in back, the skirt is made of cluster of dots and covered in sprinkles. Since the larger cake was strawberry and some family didn’t like strawberry I made large vanilla and chocolate cupcakes too (which is what the little princess is made from). They were gorgeous and a hit!
