Any doll will work with this design. \u00a0If you do not have a doll pick, and want to put an actual Barbie in the cake (who has money to do that?!?), after baking the cake, you will need to carve out the center of the cake, wrap Barbie in syran wrap (make sure she&#8217;s clean) and follow the same decorating steps as I show you in the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oGb6i6rxQsU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Princess\/Barbie cake:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em>This will make one cake, and serve 10-12 people.<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Barbie doll cake pick<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Silver dragees\/edible sugar pearls<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Colored vanilla buttercream icing (teal and purple)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">small star tip \u00a0(e.g. Wilton #16)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">flower petal tip (e.g. Wilton #104)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">open star tip (e.g. Wilton 1M)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">2 quart (1.89 Litres) Tapered Glass Bowl<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">5 Cups (1.2 Liters) cake batter<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">To make this cake, you will need five cups of your favourite batter! \u00a0I found a tapered glass bowl, which matched the shape of the dress perfectly, so I used that to bake my cake in (you can also carve the shape if you can\u2019t find a bowl). \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Baking a cake in this deep of a bowl causes a few complications. \u00a0It takes a long time, and it cooks quickly on the outside due to the glass. \u00a0To prevent a cake that is burnt on the outside and gooey on the inside, you can do a couple of things: place the bowl in a water bath (this regulates the temperature of the glass); turn the temperature down to 325\u02daF\/163\u02daC; or use a heating core placed in the center of the batter to help bake evenly. If using a water bath, bake for 60-70 minutes. \u00a0If turning the temperature down, bake for 70-80 minutes. \u00a0If using a heating core, bake for 55-65 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Once the cake is baked, allow it to cool completely before levelling the bottom. \u00a0Start by covering the cake with a crumb coat using a metal spatula and place into the fridge or freezer for 10 minutes. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Divide buttercream in half, and colour half teal, and half purple. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Divide the teal into two equal amounts and place one teal batch into a piping bag fitted with a small star tip and the other with a large open star tip. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Put the purple buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a petal tip. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Turn the cake upside down, so the top (wider section) of the cake is against the cake plate. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Starting at the base of the cake and using the teal buttercream with the large star tip, squeeze star shapes along the bottom of the cake, where it meets the board or plate the cake is sitting on. Do one entire row around the base, and then place one dragee in the center of the star shape before the buttercream crusts over. \u00a0Repeat with a second row, above the first row. \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Switching to purple buttercream (with the petal tip), place the wide part of the tip closest to the cake and make a zigzag pattern about an inch wide, up the side of the cake, all the way to the top. \u00a0Repeat with a second line, making sure that the zigzags touch each other all the way to the top. \u00a0Continue around until the cake is entirely covered.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Cover (or protect) the doll\u2019s hair and raise the doll\u2019s hands. \u00a0Place the doll pick into the centre of the cake at the top. \u00a0Switching to teal buttercream with small star tip, pipe a sweetheart neckline over her chest, under her arms, and around to the back. \u00a0Fill in the rest of the torso with small stars, squeezing small amounts at a time. \u00a0When the torso is covered, switch back to the large star tip teal bag, and pipe a line of larger stars where the torso and dress meet. \u00a0Place dragees into these stars as well. \u00a0More dragees can be applied above the neckline if desired. \u00a0Uncover the hair, lower the arms.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Keep cake refrigerated and remove from fridge 3-4 hours prior to serving. Cake is best consumed within 2-3 days.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC_5800web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3955\" title=\"Barbie Cake\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC_5800web.jpg\" alt=\"Princess Cake\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC_5800web.jpg 600w, http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/DSC_5800web-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I hope you enjoyed the Barbie cake tutorial!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Happy Baking!\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=3954\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=3954\" data-text=\"How to Make a Barbie Cake \/ Princess Cake\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=3954\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=http%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D3954&amp;linkname=How%20to%20Make%20a%20Barbie%20Cake%20%2F%20Princess%20Cake\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who doesn&#8217;t love Barbie?!?!
