I have gotten into making fondant cakes. I love to be creative and just to be able to make something really neat and say that I was the one who did it.
My husband has been very supportive of my cakes that I have made, so he got me my first paying job. His friend’s daughter was celebrating her birthday and they wanted a Cinderella Birthday Cake.
First I went to several stores looking for the perfect Barbie. It had to have an updo like Cinderella had. I finally found her.
Then I made the Wilton Skirt Cake. I made the fondant top, puff sleeves, neck collar and headband with earrings and then put the Barbie doll in the cake. Afterwards, I started decorating the skirt. I brushed it with a wet brush and used blue sparkle glitter all over the dress. Then I made a 12″ round cake and decorated the bottom half with white fondant and then tie-dyed the other fondant blue and white.
I frosted over the seam and then placed the Barbie on top. I frosted on her sides of the dress and around the bottom of the dress to cover that seam. I then took a large marshmallow and wet it down slightly and then rolled it in sprinkles. I then used leftover fondant, made a bow and attached it to the top of the marshmallow to make it look like Cinderella Barbie was bringing her a present.
Last of all, I had piped the Happy Birthday note.
did you take the legs off the barbie or just push her down in there
