Ingredients
- Cake Mix: 2 boxes of your favorite cake mix (vanilla or strawberry are great choices)
- Eggs: As required by the cake mix instructions
- Oil: As required by the cake mix instructions
- Water/Milk: As required by the cake mix instructions
- Frosting: 2-3 containers of your favorite frosting (pink, white, or a combination)
- Food Coloring: Pink or any color you prefer for the dress
- Sprinkles: For added decoration
- Barbie Doll: One new, clean Barbie doll (wrap legs in plastic wrap)
Instructions
- Baking the Cake Layers: Begin by preparing your cake batter according to the cake mix instructions. Divide the batter evenly into the Bundt pan and the two 9-inch round pans. Bake as directed until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial for creating a stable base for your Barbie doll cake.
- Assembling the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, level the top of the round cakes with a serrated knife to ensure they stack evenly. Place one round cake on your cake stand or plate, and spread a layer of frosting on top. Add the second round cake and another layer of frosting. Carefully place the Bundt cake on top to create the skirt shape for the amazing Barbie cake. This tiered structure forms the base of the doll’s dress.
- Frosting and Decorating: Tint your frosting with pink food coloring, or use pre-colored frosting. Generously frost the entire cake, smoothing it out as much as possible. Use a piping bag to create decorative ruffles, rosettes, or other designs to resemble a dress. Get creative with your frosting techniques to make a unique Princess cake recipe. Add sprinkles for extra sparkle and fun!
- Adding the Barbie Doll: Wrap the Barbie doll’s legs in plastic wrap to keep them clean. Carefully insert the doll into the center of the cake, making sure she stands securely. Use extra frosting to blend the doll’s bodice with the cake, creating a seamless dress effect. This step brings your Barbie cake recipe to life!
Notes
- Use a turntable for easier frosting.
- Chill the cake layers before frosting to prevent crumbs.
- Experiment with different frosting techniques for unique dress designs.
- Ensure the Barbie doll is clean and securely placed.
