Barbie Birthday Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 150 degrees celcius/300°F.
• Wipe a little butter around the inside of the bowl and tin, then line with greaseproof/baking paper.
• Sift the flour into a mixing bowl.
• Add the sugar, butter, eggs and milk.
• Mix until it looks pale and creamy, using electric mixer or wooden spoon.
• Divide proportionately between the pudding bowl and the tin and smooth the tops.
• Bake for approximately 1 1/2 hours (If you stick a skewer into the centre it should come out clean).
• Remove from oven, turn them out and gently remove baking paper. Allow to cool completely.
• Mix the icing ingredients well.
• If desired, carefully slice both cakes in half, horizontally and fill the middle with icing. (Cover and save the rest of the icing until later).
• Place upside-down pudding bowl cake on top of round cake, with icing between them.
• Wrap in foil or cling film and place in freezer for 20 mins or fridge for an hour. (this will firm up the cake to allow you to cut the hole for Barbie's legs, and create less crumbs when icing the cake).
• Use a long knife(eg bread knife) to cut a hole in the centre of the cake, long enough for Barbie's legs, up to just below her waist.
• Wrap Barbie's legs in cling wrap up to her waist and insert her into the hole in the cake.
• Colour and flavour the buttercream and/or fondant icing as desired.
• Ice a thin layer of buttercream all over the cake. Place in fridge for 15 minutes.
• Smooth another layer of buttercream OR roll out the fondant icing and drape around the cake, imitating the folds of a dress. If using buttercream, you can neaten it by dippng a knife in hot water and smoothing it over the icing.
• Pipe buttercream or wrap a piece of fondant icing around Barbie's torso.
• Embellish as you please!

Steps:

• Trim the tops off the 2 tube cakes to level. Trim the flat end of the bowl cake to level. Cut a hole through the center of the bowl cake the width of the Barbie doll. Place one tube cake, trimmed side up, on a cake plate. Place the second tube cake, trimmed side up on top, and the bowl cake, trimmed side down, on top. Spread 1 cup of frosting between each layer.
• Remove all clothing from the doll and wrap the doll's hair in plastic wrap. Insert doll into the hole of the bowl cake up to its waist. Use half of the remaining frosting to completely cover the outside of the cakes, evenly smoothing to form the skirt part of the doll.
• Tint remaining frosting with food coloring to desired colors. Using pastry bags and decorating tips, decorate the skirt and upper half of the doll with colored frosting, as desired. Remove plastic from the doll's hair, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart ovenproof Pyrex glass mixing bowl with shortening and dust with flour.
• Prepare cake as directed on box. Pour batter into prepared bowl.
• Bake 50-60 minutes or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.
• Invert on cake plate with widest part of cake on the bottom. Cool 3 hours before decorating.
• Insert a clean doll into center of cake. Decorate the skirt with icing tinted any color or use more than one color. Use a decorator tip to make the skirt as fancy as you like and decorate the top of the doll for the top of the dress also.

Steps:

• You must also have a Barbie doll for this recipe, but I could not include it in the ingredients list as it is a non-food item.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees farenheit.
• Grease and flour a an 8 cup rounded glass measuring cup, or you can use a metal mixing bowl.
• Prepare cake mix by adding first 4 ingredients and mixing for 2 minutes.
• Pour cake mix into prepared measuring cup (or metal mixing bowl, and bake 50-60 mins until knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• Let cool for 15 mins, then invert onto cake tray.
• Let cool completely before frosting, about 3 hours.
• After completely cool use frosting to decorate cake to look like Barbie's dress.
• Insert Barbie legs all the way down into middle of the cake, then use remaining frosting to cover her bosoms to complete the dress.
• Enjoy!
