Coolest Angel Cake

This cake was for a friend’s 30th birthday! She adores angels and always wanted a ‘barbie’ type cake so this is what I made for her.

I made 3 layers of vanilla hot milk sponge, two round and one in a stainless bowl. I then layered them with the bowl one ontop and trimmed the edges into a dome ‘dress’ shape.

I then iced between the layers with vanilla butter icing.

I gave the whole dress a crumbcoat and stuck in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set.

Then I did the final layer of icing using the same vanilla butter icing, smoothing it down with a large spatula. I placed the rest into a piping bag with a number 2 nozzle and piped random squiggles around 3/4 of the dress. I inserted the barbie doll into the middle of the dress and continued the piping over her upper body forming the illusion of a fitted corset with straps.

I then used gold string to adorn her head like a halo and attach the wings, which were made of tranparancy paper with gold glitter wings drawn on.

The cake board was covered with gold foil to match.

The result was great and delicious and loved by all.
