Yes, it is a in a Barbie birthday cake, as per many a little princess's early memories. One such little princess is a wonderful friend of mine, so when she put in her request, I was on a mission.
Definitely one that has to be planned ahead, but SO much fun to make.
I won't go into all the ingredients etc on this one, but basically it consists of 2 cakes, one made in a pudding bowl (I used a glass Pyrex one) and copious amounts of buttercream icing.
You bake both cakes, when they are cool punch a circle out the middle, then merrily ice your way into Barbie land, inserting the doll and icing her in at the end. Her bodice is made from fondant icing.
This had a pink layer under the yellow to make it all the more dynamic when slicing in.
The whole thing is dairy free, but I'm sorry to say there's no way it could pass as healthy.
NB: Due to its height it's a wee bit of a mission to transport!
