Twilight Barbie Dolls

In celebration of the holiday season, I have decided to put together a mini gift guide. Some of these items will be cake related, some will not. My first holiday pick was the Girl Gourmet Cupcake Maker. You can find all of my recommendations here. Today I would like to share with you the Twilight Barbie Dolls. As you can see below, Barbie has made an Edward and Bella doll from the movie 'New Moon.' These dolls will make a great gift for any Barbie collector. Click here for some great deals.



If you are on a budget this year, like many of us are, a Barbie cake is a great alternative. Check out our guide to making dolls out of cake.

How to Make Mini Dolls Out of Cake

Photobucket Photobucket



This cake was fairly easy to make but very time consuming. To make this cake you will need...


Wilton Mini Wonder Mold Doll Pan

10 inch Round Cake Pan

12 Wilton Mini Doll Picks

Two 14 inch Silver Cake Boards

Large Star Tip

Ganache Icing

Buttercream Icing










Directions:


Step 1

Bake 2 10 inch round cakes and 12 mini wonder mold doll cakes. Then, level, tort, and fill the 10 inch cake.



Step 2

Cover the 10 inch cake with ganache icing. Once the cake is covered in ganache, place the cake on one of the silver cake boards and pipe boarder around the bottom of the cake using a large star tip. I placed the cake off center to leave room in front for some of the Barbies.



*Decorator's Tip* To create a two-color boarder, put both of your colors in the bag side by side. When you pipe, the icing will appear stripped.



Step 3

Decorate the cone shaped cakes to look like dresses. This can be done anyway you wish so I will not give step-by-step directions.



Step 4

Place mini doll picks into the top of each dome cake and place cakes randomly on the board.



Step 5
For extra decoration I made royal icing flowers ahead of time and placed them around the cakes.
