Ingredients
- Cake Mix: 2 boxes of your favorite cake mix (vanilla or pink recommended)
- Eggs: As required by the cake mix
- Oil: As required by the cake mix
- Water/Milk: As required by the cake mix
- Frosting: 2-3 tubs of pink or your preferred color
- Food Coloring: Pink gel food coloring (optional, for enhancing color)
- Sprinkles: For decoration
- Barbie Doll: One Barbie doll, cleaned and wrapped in plastic wrap from the waist down
- Cake Pans: One bundt pan and two 8-inch round cake pans
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and water/milk as directed. Add pink food coloring if desired. Mix until smooth.
- Bake the Cakes: Grease and flour a bundt pan and two 8-inch round cake pans. Pour half the batter into the bundt pan and the rest into the round pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
- Level and Layer the Cakes: Level the tops of the cooled round cakes. Place one round cake on a serving plate, spread frosting on top, and add the second round cake. Frost the top. Carefully place the bundt cake on top, centering it.
- Frost and Decorate: Insert the Barbie doll into the center hole. Frost the entire cake smoothly. Use piping bags and tips to add decorations. Add sprinkles for extra sparkle.
Notes
- Ensure cakes are completely cool before frosting.
- Use a cake turntable for easier decorating.
- Level cakes for a flat surface.
- Chill cake after crumb coat for easier frosting.
- Wrap Barbie doll’s lower body in plastic wrap.
