Cooking a holiday treat with a surprise: recipe with photo
Cake "Barbie" - an original congratulation that does not require titanic efforts and high costs. To cook it yourself, you need a list of the following components:
- 8-9 pcs. shop biscuit cakes;
- standard portion of butter cream;
- pink and white sugar mastic (to create a dress);
- fruits, walnuts - optional.
Cooking steps
The first thing you need to do to make a Barbie cake is to purchase the appropriate toy, prepare the right amount of chocolate (or regular) biscuits, which will become the basis for the skirt.
You can also cook classic cakes with the addition of cocoa. The first cake should be 21 centimeters in diameter, then all the rest will narrow to the waist of the doll. The smallest layer in this case is baked in a metal bowl to make it rounded.
We make a small hole in the middle of each cake in which the legs of the pupa will be inserted. So, let's start assembling the future skirt.
For this, we lay the first cake on a beautiful serving dish or any round base that can be wrapped in a silver film.
Next, you need to spread the biscuit with a pre-prepared butter cream. On top, lay out dried fruits, fruits or nuts as desired.
Next, you need to install the next cake with a smaller diameter, and so on until the biscuits end. Each layer is covered with cream and filling. The last rounded biscuit should crown the pyramid of sweet cakes. Please note that the height of the cake directly depends on the size of the Barbie doll purchased.
Next, you need to mix the cream with crumbs from biscuit and with this mixture, align the cake in the form of a magnificent dress.
The prepared base for the doll's skirt should be sent to the refrigerator for about a couple of hours. During this time, the cake "Barbie" from biscuit cakes will have time to soak well.
Next, you need to do the preparation of the doll. If you are planning to make her some chic hairstyle, it’s better to do this until she is “built into” the cake design. Otherwise, you may have corresponding difficulties.
Undress the doll and wrap it with cling film. First you need to wrap it from your fingertips to the armpits. This precaution is made for reasons of hygiene and child safety. Next, you need to raise Barbie's hands up and wrap them in the area of the head with cling film. The second winding is needed rather for the convenience of making a Barbie cake.
Then you need to thinly roll the pink mastic and wrap the doll's bodice with it and put together the sweet “corset” behind the back with the help of water. Next, decorate the "outfit" with your fingers - decor elements can be different - frills, ruffles, folds.
We begin to decorate the skirt for the doll with a hem. Thinly roll white mastic. Forming frills from it, it is necessary to lay them in a circle.
We put, so to speak, a cake skirt on our Barbie. Next, we form the next layer of the skirt. To do this, again take the pink mastic. It is necessary to prepare the four sides of the dress and put them in the folds on each other with an overlap (this will help to hide the joints).
Decorate
Using a special shape, you need to cut out the last layer of the skirt in the form of a flower with a hole in the middle. It will also need to be passed through the body of the doll. The third tier will help hide the joints on the biscuit, the second tier of the skirt and the doll itself.
You can decorate as you wish. An individual approach is always welcome! You can cut flowers out of mastic and glue them to the top of the dress with water. If you connect the imagination, you can come up with various roles for the doll - to make a fairy, a sorceress, and so on from it. You can still play endlessly with variations of color and materials. Mastic of different colors will always come in handy for this fascinating activity. If you wish, you can even make a joint cookie with your child - this will make relations with him warmer and more trusting, which, of course, loving parents always dream of.
Finish the process
Remove from the doll the second part of the cling film that covered the hair, lower the doll’s handles down. So our cake with a Barbie doll is ready. This master class will not only allow you to give unforgettable moments to your child, but also immerse adults in a fairy tale: the cooking process raises the mood, gives free rein to imagination and helps to reveal your abilities.
