The ultimate Fashion icon, She's chic, classy and never goes out of style. She likes to party, she like's to have fun, she can be adventurous, she can be a diva or a fairy.
She is Barbie.
When I was young, a trip to the toy store wouldn't be complete without two items: A.) A kitchen play set (whether its a stove or a fridge or a pan)
B.) BARBIE!
These are Two things im very passionate about; Food and Fashion. Around 12 years ago I would hunt for unused clothes, socks or any fabrics that has nice prints or laces, then i will get my Mom's needle and thread, cut the fabric fit it in barbie and sew it :) My mom was so proud that i can sew barbie dresses and gowns (because my mom's not into it hahaha) I made hair extension or highlights for barbie too!
Anyways, lets go back to the barbie cake. Last saturday July 11 around 10 p.m. i was surfing youtube and was looking for "piping/decorations tips" and then i came across the barbie cake, It's becoming very popular now a days. Before a typical birthday cake is just an 8'' round cake with happy birthday prints and candles, but now it evolves to barbies, mermaids or transformers.
Going back to youtube. I watched a how to video for barbie cakes. I was watching it ten times and it looks very easy, I'm very amazed. Since i had always loved designing barbie dresses this cake is so for me! :) I was excited to make my own Barbie cake.
Sunday Morning I went out to buy baking stuffs and i started to bake around 1 pm and finished baking around 6 pm because i can only fit one round pan in the center rack and it takes an hour for each pan to be baked. so thats 2 hours prep and 3 hours baking (1 hour for each pan).
I used pound cake and boiled icing, and well it turned out sweet. so next time I will be adjusting the sugar from the pound cake or maybe i will choose other frosting besides boiled icing.
What I learned is: use 3 8'' round pans, and a Big pyrex glass bowl (the microwaveable safe ones)
I only used 2 8'inch round pans (which is wrong! hahaha the dress falls short in the waist)so i had to do some "magic"
Other tip use the big pyrex glass bowl, What I did was used the smaller pyrex glass bowl. hahaha which is wrong again since there will be a gap from the next layer of cake.
It was a bit challenging :) but fun! To all those who haven't tried making a barbie cake, i suggest you do. This is the link where i learned to make barbie cake .
