Materials Needed
Before you start, gather all the necessary materials to ensure a smooth and enjoyable baking experience. Here’s a list of what you’ll need:
– 1 box of white cake mix
– 2 eggs
– 1 cup of water
– 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
– Food coloring (pink for the cake and white for the frosting)
– 1 tub of vanilla frosting
– Barbie doll cake pan (or a round pan)
– Piping bag and tips
– Sprinkles, edible glitter, and decorations of your choice
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until the batter is smooth and well blended. Divide the batter into two bowls, and add pink food coloring to one bowl to achieve a Barbie doll pink color.
Step 2: Bake the Cake Layers
Grease your Barbie doll cake pan (or round pan) with non-stick cooking spray. Pour the pink batter into the pan, and spread it evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Prepare the Frosting
While the cake is cooling, prepare the frosting. In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla frosting until smooth. Add a few drops of white food coloring to achieve a light pink color, similar to Barbie’s iconic shade.
Step 4: Assemble the Cake
Once the cake layers are completely cooled, place the first layer on a cake stand or serving plate. Using a spatula, spread a thin layer of frosting on top of the first layer. Repeat this process with the remaining layers, placing each layer on top of the previous one and adding a thin layer of frosting between each layer.
Step 5: Decorate the Cake
Now it’s time to get creative! Using a piping bag and a star tip, pipe rosettes around the edge of the cake to resemble Barbie’s iconic hairstyle. You can also pipe small dots on the sides of the cake to represent her earrings. Add sprinkles, edible glitter, and any other decorations of your choice to personalize the cake.
Step 6: Insert the Barbie Doll
Carefully position the Barbie doll on top of the cake, ensuring that she is centered and stable. You can use toothpicks or a small dowel to hold the doll in place if needed.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You’ve successfully made a Barbie doll cake that is sure to impress your guests. This delightful dessert is perfect for any occasion and can be customized to match any theme. Enjoy the process of creating this adorable cake, and have fun with your baking adventures!
