How to Make Barbie Doll Birthday Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 20cm round cake tin and a 2-liter/4-pint oven-proof mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare your favorite cake batter recipe (see ingredient suggestions below). Ensure you have enough batter for both the round cake and the bowl cake.
  3. Gently wrap Barbie's legs in cling film, ensuring they are securely protected.
  4. Pour half the batter into the prepared round cake tin and bake according to your chosen cake recipe's instructions.
  5. Pour the remaining batter into the prepared oven-proof bowl. Carefully place the cling-film wrapped Barbie into the center of the bowl, positioning her legs to extend slightly below the bowl's rim.
  6. Bake the bowl cake according to your cake recipe's instructions, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. This may take slightly longer than the round cake.
  7. Allow both cakes to cool completely before frosting.
  8. Once cool, frost the round cake and carefully place it on top of the bowl cake, covering the base of the bowl.
  9. Frost the entire cake, creating a smooth and even finish. Decorate as desired to create a stunning Barbie-themed masterpiece!
  10. After the cake has been served, carefully remove the Barbie from the cling film and dress her. Present the doll to your daughter as a special surprise!
