A Barbie Cake Birthday Celebration
Nothing makes birthday festivities happier than a wonderfully designed Barbie cake.

It’s the ideal present for young children because it combines food and toys in one, a cherished doll and a sweet treat.
Ingredients and Supplies
Get together all the materials and ingredients you’ll need before beginning:
3 boxes of cake mix (choose your flavor)
Items (eggs, oil, water) stated on cake mix boxes
Buttercream icing, prepared or purchased
Optional food coloring for a vibrant dress
One (1) Barbie doll (be sure it’s clean and covered in plastic wrap from the waist down)
Three separate 8-inch round cake pans
One (1) oven-safe bowl (to make the dress’s dome)
Cake board or big, level plate
Blade with serrations
Tip piling and bagging
Offset spoon
Decorating turntable (optional but advised for simplicity of decoration)
The Cake Baking
Preheat the oven.
Put your oven to 350°F (175°C) to start. This guarantees that, once your batter is ready, your oven is ready to bake.
Prepare the Cake Mixes.
Prepare the batter as directed on the cake mix boxes. Till you get an even, smooth consistency, thoroughly mix.
Divide and Bake the Batter
Spoon batter into an oven-safe bowl and three 8-inch round cake pans. To guarantee that each pan rises equally without overflowing, fill each halfway. Bake until a toothpick put into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 25 to 30 minutes. Observe the bowl; its shape may need further baking time.and then cool it.
Assembling the Cake
Level the Cakes.
Cut the top level with a sharp knife when the cakes have cooled. The layers are certain to stack smoothly and without tilting by this stage.
Layering
Put one circular cake on a big, level plate or cake board. With an offset spatula, liberally cover the top with buttercream icing. Place the second round cake on top and cover with still another buttercream coating. And last, put the dome-shaped cake right on top.
Carving the Skirt
With caution not to cut too much too soon, carefully shape the piled cakes into a garment. For a flowing skirt form, smooth the edges.

Barbie preparations
Make sure your Barbie doll has her hair up and is clean. Put plastic wrap over her lower half to keep icing off of it.
The Doll Insertion
Put Barbie gently in the middle of the cake. You might have to put another little round cake layer at the bottom if the cake isn’t tall enough to cover her waist.
Cake Decorating
Crumb Coat, First
To seal in crumbs, spread a thin coating of buttercream frosting over the whole cake. Set the crumb coat by chilling for fifteen to twenty minutes.
Adding the Last Frosting Layer
If you want a vibrant frock, add food coloring to the buttercream. Using your offset spatula, spread on a second, thicker coating of icing as smoothly as you can.
Final Touches
Pipe a bodice right onto the Barbie doll so that it matches the skirt perfectly. To make the dress even more stunning, add any last accents like edible pearls, glitter, or flowers.
Serving and Presentation
Complete the Look
When you’re happy with the decorations, put the completed Barbie cake in the refrigerator to permit the icing to set entirely.
Cake Serving
When serving time arrives, delicately slice the cake being careful not to cut through the doll. The way this show-stopping dessert looks and tastes will wow your visitors.

F & Q
What sort of cake is ideal for a Barbie cake?
Because a dense cake keeps its shape effectively after carving and arranging it, a Barbie cake works best with pound cakes or butter cakes. Use sponge cakes or other too-light or airy cakes; they could collapse under the weight of the doll.
Can I top my Barbie cake with store-bought icing?
Consistent results and time savings are possible with store-bought frosting. But handmade buttercream icing is usually easier to work with to piping details and tastes nicer.
