Serve this fairy-tale cake at a birthday celebration, and your child and her guests are sure to have a ball. You can find cake dolls at most party or cake decorating stores for about $3.
Ingredients
- 2 baked 9-inch round cakes
- 1 baked dome cake (baked in a 2 1/2-quart bowl)
- 4 cups white frosting
- Red food coloring
- Gel icing
- Cake doll
Instructions
- Stack and lightly frost the two round cakes and then the dome cake (flat side down) on a serving plate to form a skirt.
- After the frosting on the cake firms up (you may have to chill the cake for a while), tint the remaining frosting with food coloring and spread it on the upper two thirds of the skirt.
- Pipe on decorative gel icing trim. Then press the waist of the cake doll into the center of the cake.
- Dress her in a frosting bodice, and she's ready to make her debut at the party. Serves 16 to 18.
