Send-a-cake: mini doll cake

I just love send-a-cake requests! Today I sent off this cute mini doll cake as a surprise for the birthday girl from someone special who couldn’t be with her on her special day..I love making people happy and making relationships stronger 😉

I purposely make the writing in a slightly darker shade to make it subtle rather than contrasting colors as I want eyes to focus on the doll cake, yet make it a personalised cake especially for the birthday girl..it is special but not too loud..I think..LOL

Mini Doll cake

Found this cute little doll..just had to grab her n make her a cake! 😉

Since its just a small doll, one small cake was sufficient enough (half a batter)

Piped some frosting on the board to “glue” the cake on the board..I used a 7inch round cake board for this cute lil cake

Place the cake on the board and cut a small hole in the middle to place the doll (I baked a chocolate cake in a small bundt pan)

Wrap the little darling with plastic wrap and “stick” it in the cake

Coat the cake with icing

Piped some icing on her body for clothing, and some detailings for her dress..I made a very simple design..just some pink swirls in front and sprinkled some decorative sugar on the dress 😉

Barbie doll cake

I’ve always wanted to make a Barbie doll cake..but I don’t know who to make it for..huhu..thanks to my regular customer rafidah, I get a chance to make this beautiful cake. To me, the idea of a doll cake is not just the cake shaped like a doll, but giving the doll as a gift to the celebrated birthday girl as well ~ double joy! 😀

Rafidah requested the cake to be decorated pink and purple..I choose a Barbie doll with her dress readily “printed” on her body, so that I won’t have to put buttercream on her body..that would be messy and kind a ruin the beautiful doll..hehe..I had fun mixing the colors as I tried to match the colors on the doll itself..the colors turned out to be very unique and pretty 😉 talk about customized colors!

Here’s the Barbie doll cake fully decorated. Since Barbie has very long legs, I had to put not 4, but 5 layers of cake to hold her! I didn’t use the special Barbie “skirt” pan, just your regular round cake pan in different sizes and a small bundt pan for the top of the skirt and a bit of cake carving 😉

The Barbie doll cake after some personalization, made specially for the birthday girl Amina 😉

The cake definitely couldn’t fit ANY cake box! LOL 😀
So, this is how we impovise..heee 😉

Thank you so much rafidah. Your order really made my day 😀
