Barbie Princess Cake

For Cadey's birthday I decided to make a Barbie Princess Cake. It turned out really well and I was very happy. Cadey really could have cared less, but I think most people were pretty impressed with my skills. What's funny is that it was super easy, really anyone could do it. I went online and found a YouTube video of how to do this. I knew I was going to use my Pampered Chef large batter bowl but that was the extent of my knowledge. This video was awesome, I would have just jammed the Barbie down the center of the cake and it would have most likely turned out a mess! Luckily, I found out a few helpful hints and the cake turned out great!

I used two Pillsbury cake mixes and bought cake decorating frosting and those were big time savers and helped out a lot. I don't think I would attempt this cake again without the decorator frosting it was a lot easier to work with than my usual cream cheese version. I also bought the sugar flowers already made and that added a fun touch I thought.

For the rest of my how to's to make this cake, really just watch the video it is pretty much exactly what I did. And really, anyone can do this!!!

  1. Super cute!! I have started to really get into making my kids birthday cakes and I love it! I'm doing Minnie for Serena's bday in April and haven't picked out what design I'll do yet. Did you use fondant or is your icing just that smooth?? I am impressed.
