Barbie cake for 3 year old Tereneah
Unfortunately I forgot to take photos of this cake. We took photos in the car on delivery with my iPhone.
This cake is a raspberry swirl with marshmallow icing and marshmallows between the layers. Everything on the cake I made from fondant apart from the wings and necklace that came with the Barbie, which were too pretty not to use!
The dress was more challenging than the last Barbie cakes I have made. Raspberry swirl cake is light and tended to fall apart as I was shaping the dress. I will stick to a dense cake for any future Barbie cakes.
This design took 6 cakes, about 1kg of fondant and a giant bowl of marshmallow icing.
- time to make: 8 hours
- favourite part: making Barbie's dress
- biggest challenge: creating a grass look with fondant, I don't think I am quite there yet
