Mini Barbie cake



This was little cheering cake for a friend. I baked two rectangles shaped sponges and cut circle shapes out of it. Sponges were moist with mandarin juice, glued with buttercream and mandarin segments.

Sponge 2x           200g of sugar

200g of self-rising flour

200g of butter

1 table spoon of baking soda

3 table spoon of water (I used mandarin compote juice)

Also

                                Ready to roll icing – white

                                Food coloring – pink and green

                                Mandarin compote

                                Yellow ribbon

                                And Barbie

 

Buttercream (75g of butter + 175g of icing sugar +2 table spoon of milk and  tea spoon of vanilla essence + mandarin zest)

 

The skirt was firstly covered by pink icing to create an illusion of underskirt, then white panel – front part. Take fork and press it so it looks like folds of skirt. Then soft-green covers it all. Do not press down leave the natural shape.

Use white piping to cover up the edges of skirts. Pipe dots on the front of the cake. Pink pearly sweets go around the back skirt.

Barbie got covered in cling film everywhere the icing go. Place Barbie in the cake. Piece of pink icing will cover Barbie’s bottom – skirt and white icing covered by pink sugar will be top of the dress. Pipe white icing as lace around the neck. Put pink ribbon at the back of the skirt. Yellow ribbon is a belt.

Place pink pearly sweets where pink skirt meets green one. I place additional white icing and pink sugar circles on the back of the skirt but it is optional.
