Here she is … Emily’s Island Princess cake for her party with family tomorrow. I had to fight with Barbie a little to cooperate and almost took a friend’s suggestion to take her legs off LOL But a little knife work later {to the carboard base, not barbie 
} and she got in there far enough. Icing is all buttercream and the dress is covered in a shimmer pearl dust. The flowers on the cake corners are Frangipani (a tropical flower – she IS the island princess you know ) and it was my first time doing them. I was suprised at how easy they were. Those are made of gumpaste. The barbie cake was made in a pampered chef 8c measure bowl (glass) and the base is a one layer 10″ square.
This smaller cake is a 4″ one made with some extra cake batter I had. Thought it would make a fun “personal” cake for Emily. Again has the Barbie’s dress pattern on it and the shimmer dust.
