Eloise has requested a Barbie Birthday party this year. I take the theming pretty seriously these days - especially when it comes to cakes.. I really see the cake as the best birthday present you can make/give your child. For me, now as an adult, I remember HOW I celebrated my birthdays and what cake I had. There's usually always photos of the cake or you blowing out the cake, so for me, it becomes a symbol of that birthday.
So I do have a dolly varden cake tin, so potentially I'm set - for Laura and Olivia's 2nd birthday I made 2x barbie dolly varden cakes and it was a trial! It was the first time I'd used one and they are very difficult to gauge when they're cooked. They also take 1.5 amounts of standard cake mixture so when I took 2 of them out earlier than I should have, upturned them to have half-cooked cake tumble out it was rather disheartening! Got there in the end though.
Don't think we'll be having the mud wresting one below - but it looks like a hoot doesn't it!?
Think I'm going to give this a go - in different colours..

If only I was a good baker. That cake is darling! The mud wrestling cake has a strong resemblance to what my cakes tend to look like minus the barbies! lol!
Ooh it's going to look awesome. Can't wait to see it.
Can't wait to see what you come up with Liss!
I love that first Barbie cake, maybe for Hubby's birthday!? LOL
Liss if you can pull that off I will be most impressed and know where to put in orders... Although postage might just be an issue :)
