But this was a higher quality doll and the legs couldn’t be pulled off without ruining them for the future. Now we need to add the doll and start working our way up! Usually I rip the legs off. I covered the pretty section with some luster dust and then to bring out the detail I painted the lines with a paint brush and clear vanilla! (notice I rolled up her 16 inch long hair and using a twist tie kept it out of her face, and out of the way while I worked on the dress!) Rapunzel’s underskirt has a lot of detailing in it so I decided to roll the fondant out onto an impression mat and then used that to cover the cake! As you cover a cake the fondant tends to stretch a bit so to keep the details I just focused on keeping one section pretty, the rest I didn’t mind if the impression got stretched and warped. And put the cake on the board! And frost the cake! I totally forgot to take a picture of that part! I always forget one picture in every tutorial it seems!įor any of the Barbie cakes what we need to start with is start at the inside/bottom and work your way out/up! So the underskirt is where we’re starting.

Take the cake sized cake board and cover it with some frosting so that the cake will stick to the board. I used an Imprint mat, put it on the board and rolled the rolling pin over it! Peel it off and you have a detailed bake base! I rub in all over the board before I cover it! You can leave it like that OR you can make it decorative like I did. In order to get it to stick and STAY on the foil covered board I use corn syrup. You want to start by covering it with fondant. Let’s start with the decorative cake base. So I cover it with foil! Wrap it around the back, trim and then tape it down. You don’t want to put the cake directly on cardboard, it will get soaked.

I’d make these 2-4 inches larger than the base of the cake, depending on how much of the cake base you want showing.

Don’t use just one, it will be too thin and too weak. Then we also need 2 or 3 cake boards stacked together for the decorative board. We need one cake board the same size as the the cake itself. I emailed Wilton and they immediately sent on to me! It was terrific service!įirst we need to do the prep work. I’ve had this pan for years, But somehow in the last few month I lost a key piece, the screw on the bottom. Make sure you use the metal tube down the center for even cooking. This cake takes a while to cook because it’s so thick. The main supplies are the princess doll you want to make, and Wilton Wonder Mold cake pan. I used these same techniques to make this Princess Tiana Barbie Doll cake too! The techniques I’m going to show you can work for any of the princesses or other women doll cakes you’d like to make yourself. Here is the Rapunzel cake I made last week for a birthday party.
