I've been waiting for years to do a Barbie doll cake so I knew right away what I was going to make for her! When I was a teenager, my best friend's mom did cakes and the Barbie cakes were my favorite. I'd never seen anything like them before, and I was so thrilled to be able to surprise my niece with this special cake! Barbie's dress is cake covered in buttercream with candy pearl accents. And cupcakes to match of course!
Everything was done with strawberry cake (so yummy--and pink!) and vanilla buttercream icing. Everyone seemed to enjoy the cake, and it was refreshing to see that in this day and age (I sound so old), Barbie is still a favorite with little girls! And as a side note, I'm so glad she picked this one instead of Wizards of Waverly Place! :)
