Last Sunday the wonderful Isabelle D'Arcy celebrated her 6th birthday. Isabelle plans on having a party with her friends in the coming weeks following the return to school and so her Birthday Cake will be made for this party.
However, the day of her birthday was to be marked by a small gathering of family and I offered to make a 'simple' surprise cake for the day.
Myself and Margaret (Isabelle's mother) have been talking about making a Barbie Doll Cake for over a year and this seemed like the ideal opportunity to try it out. Margaret gave me one of Isabelle's Barbie dolls, which I wrapped in cling film and inserted into the middle of the cake.
The beauty of this cake is that you can make it as simple or ornate as you wish depending on personal taste and the amount of time you have to spend. Regardless of the design you choose getting a Barbie Doll Cake should thrill any little girl.
Isabelle is a lover of a jam sponge and for an added surprise, I made the sponge pink to match the Barbie dress. I was delighted with the results and learnt a lot from the experience. Margaret and Isabelle were pleased with the final design too.
