How to make a Princess Doll Cake

Posted at 8:47 am under Cakes and Cookies

I’ve received many queries on how I did the princess cake. So here’s the details on how it’s done.

For the cake, I actually bought the Wilton Wonder Mold Kit . As shown in the photo, it comes with a tall cake mold and a doll’s upper body. You don’t have to buy this mold in order to bake the cake. The reason I got it was because I had a coupon and got it for only $10. :)

If you don’t have a mold, you can just bake 2-3 round cakes, stack it up & then cut the cake to the shape of a skirt. The final cake shape should look like this.

What kind of cake will this be?

As for the doll, just get a regular barbie doll and break off the bottom half and you can just push it into the cake top. 

For the cake filling, I used this recipe from Do What I Like to make the vanilla chiffon cake and the white chocolate strawberry mousse except that I just used the mousse for the inside layers.

For the outer layer, I used buttercream since it’s easier to pipe. I used the Wilton’s buttercream recipe except that I didn’t used all the icing sugar. I probably used about 3 cups. Then start piping whatever design you like. I used mostly the open star tip (Wilton #17) and round decorating tip (Wilton #3). There’s a lot of great design ideas on the internet.

For the roses, flowers & letters, I used sugar paste. Unfortunately I don’t have permission from the recipe owner to share the recipe here. Email me if you are interested. Alternatively, you can also use marshmallow fondant which I will share later. I used marshmallow fondant for my Elmo cake. They work just as well. You can also use sprinkles which are just as nice.

Hope this explanation helps those who want to try to bake this cake. Have fun!! :)

Stumble it!

    Gorgeous! Question though: I’ve always wondered how many people that one cake would serve. Also, how would you cut it up when it’s time to serve? - Jess

    Hi Jess, when it’s time to cut, I take off the head & body, leaving only the skirt. So it’s like a dome cake. I had 15 people at the party and I had enough for all of them. It’s a tall cake.

    I use that same pan, but I use real Barbie Dolls and don’t break their legs off. I wrap them in seran wrap. The only problem is the doll cake pan is not tall enough, so I make an 8″ round and put on the bottom. That will do the trick. At the end, you have a whole Barbie and a beautiful cake.

    Thanks for the tip, MamaT !

    Hi! Very nice cake!!!
    I found your blog looking for the way to do layers on a doll cake. Last year for my twin daughters birthday I did Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty using that mold and they turned out very nice. The thing was I just used the dolls as a decoration and I put them each on top of another layered cake because I wasn’t sure how to make the layers on the doll base. But now that I see you layered it with no problem I’ll do it this way now (I don’t want to bake 4 cakes again!!!) My daughters are turning 5 on Friday and I’m making Barbie Liana and Alexa from the new movie (Barbie and the Diamond Castle) for them.
    I couldn’t open the link with the “white chocolate strawberry mousse” that you used. It sounds so yummy: would you e-mail it to me? Thanks a lot!!!!!
