This Belle cake was made using a Wilton sport ball pan, and a 6 inch layer pan for the skirt.
After baking and cooling I placed them in the freezer to make sculpting and icing easy later.
The top (doll portion) was made using fondant. You could also use modeling chocolate. I did the skin colored body, head, and arms first on a dowel rod, and allowed them to air dry for a day.
I then put together and iced the skirt portion with regular buttercream icing. I placed the hardened body on top (dowel goes down into the layers of cake center) and iced the top of the dress on her body.
I then added hair with additional fondant, and painted features with a fine paint brush and food colorings.
This whole cake was edible, except for the dowel rod down the center. This was my first try at making a face, could have been “prettier” but I was pretty pleased with the results anyway.

I think anyone who can come up with creative ways to create a child’s cake should be applauded.
These people who have left nasty comments need to get a life! I’m sure with the level of maturity shown here, they must have nothing better to do than mock other’s creations.
This cake has inspired me to make one using fondant shapes in my baking class at school.
Thanks for so much!
This is awesome. I am going to give this a whirl and only hope it comes out as sweet as yours!
Thanks for the help in deciding a barbie, or give to give it a whirl with the fondant!
