A New Take on Classic Barbie Cake is a dreamy pink delight that adds magic to any birthday celebration. This updated recipe for the iconic Barbie doll cake combines creativity with delicious flavors, making it a stunning centerpiece for events.
Ingredients
- Cake mix (vanilla or any flavor you prefer)
- Eggs, oil, and water (as required by the cake mix)
- Pink food coloring
- Frosting (vanilla or cream cheese)
- Sprinkles and edible glitter
- Barbie doll (new and clean, wrapped in plastic wrap below the waist)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a dome-shaped baking pan or a large mixing bowl. You can also use multiple round cake pans for layering.
- Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the cake mix box. Add pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan(s) and bake for the time specified in the instructions. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once the cake is baked, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If you used multiple round cake pans, level each layer with a serrated knife for a stable base.
- If using layers, stack them on top of each other, using frosting as glue. Carve a hole in the center of the cake to accommodate the Barbie doll’s legs.
- Insert the Barbie doll into the hole, ensuring she stands securely. Wrap her lower body with plastic wrap to keep it clean.
- Frost the entire cake with vanilla or cream cheese frosting, creating a gown-like effect. Use a piping bag and various tips to add ruffles, swirls, and other decorative elements.
- Embellish the cake with sprinkles, edible glitter, and other decorations. Get creative with the design to make it a truly unique Barbie themed cake.
Notes
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality cake mix and frosting for the best taste and texture.
- Chill the Cake: Chilling the cake before frosting makes it easier to handle and decorate.
- Get Creative with Frosting: Experiment with different frosting techniques to create a stunning gown design.
- Safety First: Ensure the Barbie doll is clean and properly wrapped to avoid any contamination.
