I’ve had a few requests for more pictures of the cake which I iced for Honey’s 6th Birthday last month (posted at THIS post), so here are some close ups of the cake (below).
I did use some scrapbooking supplies on this project! The wings are cut from a sheet of acetate and I used Stickles to draw the wing patterns. I also used some stickles around the doll’s forehead and hair to make her a little more sparkly (it was actually a Cinderella doll!)
I coloured some white ready made fondant icing with blue food dye and after covering the main skirt, I cut thin strips of both blue and white icing to make the twisted tendrils and then piped the darker blue which was just icing sugar and water (and colour) and I have to admit to being a little on the runny side!
The cake itself (inside) was created using 3 pre-made chocolate sponges (victoria sponge type) - on of top of the other. I still then had to pile the off-cuts to the top as the dolls legs were sooooo long! I didn’t want to destroy the doll (as it was another gift for Honey) so I carefully wrapped the bottom half of the doll’s dress and legs in cling film before making the cake around her!
Awesome fairy cake. Thank for sharing its pictures here. I would like to made as same as this one for my little niece at her birth day. Hope she will like it.
Amazing!!!
Beautiful! Did she keep her legs? I removed the ones I used for my daughter’s cake!
Yes, I wrapped the legs and bottom of the dress in cling film to keep them clean and then the doll became an extra birthday gift too!
I wish I had thought of this as a birthday cake! Very Amazing!
That is so cool! What a birthday cake! Very nice.
Oh I love this as a birthday cake idea! Might have to use it!
In the past my friend and I have used box cake mix and made 2 Bundt pans, one curved for the top and a flat bottom bundt pan for the bottom and stacked them for the skirt. the barbies then stand up perfectly to fit. You just shave and shape the shirt accordingly. It makes alot of cake, but beautiful to look at. I love the wings idea.
