A Monster High doll cake has been something that has been high on the request list for a while now, so when the opportunity came to work with Monster High AND Chef Dominique Ansel, we jumped at the chance! Why wouldn’t we?
Monster High dolls embracing differences and celebrating what makes everyone unique. Each “ghoul” as the dolls are called, has a different monster lineage and live by the slogan “be yourself, be unique, be a monster.” For example, Draculaura, is the daughter of Dracula, and Frankie Stein, Frankenstein. I know the kids in my Kindergarten class LOVE these dolls.
Chef Dominique is the genius behind the Cronut (a croissant, donut combination) and the Milk and Cookie Shot! We have done our own takes of both of those recipes on our YouTube channel already, and loved making them! His newest creation is the Shocklette Monster for the Monster High brand. The Shocklette Monster treat is chocolate mousse, dipped in chocolate, encased in marshmallow! It sounds freaky fab!
You can follow Chef Dominque Ansel as he documents his progress on his Shocklette Monster treat over on his Instagram.
Since we were asked to join in and get in on the Monster High celebration as well, I decided to turn Draculaura, well her dress, into a cake! What’s great about this cake is that you don’t need anything special, besides a Monster High doll. A cake doll pan helps, but as you can see in my Barbie Cake video, you can also just use a tapered bowl to shape the dress.
Monster High Doll Cake
Ingredients/Materials:
- Monster High Doll (You can buy them here )
- 6 cups prepared cake batter
- Pink buttercream (made with deep pink gel paste by Americolor)
- Black buttercream (made with black gel paste by Americolor)
- Doll shaped cake pan, or large tapered bowl (Get One Here)
- Wilton piping tips #3, #5, #10, #12, #104
- Grease and prepare cake pan.
- Pour batter into prepared cake pan, and bake at 350F until cake in completely baked (usually around 60-70 minutes). Allow to cool completely.
- Remove Monster High Doll clothes, raise hands, and pull hair out of the way.
- Wipe the doll clean using soap and water. Dry completely, and wrap legs and feet in plastic wrap.
- Insert feet and legs into the top of the cake, pressing the doll down as far as it will go.
- Using the black buttercream with tip #5, pipe a bustier over top of the doll’s chest, and continuing around to the back.
- Alternating between black buttercream, and pink buttercream, both with #5 tip, pipe vertical stripes underneath the bustier, around the body, stopping above the waist.
- Switching both bags to tips #12, pipe vertical lines, making sure to stay straight up and down, around the body from the butt down about halfway to the bottom of the cake.
- Fill in the areas between the vertical lines with the corresponding colour to form narrow triangle pieces of the dress. Repeat until all triangles are filled in with buttercream.
- Switching to #104 on both bags, apply ruffles to the bottom of the dress, where the cake meets the board, first with black, and then pink, and ending with black again. The second black row of ruffles should meet up with the triangles.
- With the black buttercream bag fitted with #3 tip, add the belt for detail where the top two vertical sections of the dress meet, by using the rope technique. Make a small arch (.5cm) in width, and repeat with a second arch that starts from the middle of the first arch, and finishes off to the right of the initial arch. Repeat until the rope is around the entire waist.
- To finish off the dress, change the black buttercream tip to #10, and apply another rope border to the dress where the ruffles meet the triangles.
- Store in the fridge until ready to serve. The cake is best eaten within 2-3 days.
Remember, be yourself, be unique, be a monster!
