First up, let's talk about Barbie. I'm sure most of you have seen a 3D Barbie cake at some point since they are pretty popular... despite their popularity, I had yet to have someone order one! So I was pretty excited to make this cake. If you haven't noticed, Barbie is tall! Which means a Barbie dress cake is VERY large! This cake was 4+ layers of cake....I say + because there was some carving and sculpting at the top to get the dress shape and cover enough of Barbie's torso. Barbie's top included, the cake measured around a foot tall.
This isn't the first big cake I've had the pleasure of making for this customer. I got to make the super fun monster cake pictured below when they welcomed a new baby into the family. They sure know how to order fun cakes!
