Instructions:
1. Find and buy a Barbie Doll with long curly hair. I am using Barbie Fashionista Doll #70.
2. Turn the doll upside down.
3. Place a ball of cling wrap into the middle of the dolls hair. Surround the ball with hair and tie it together with a rubber band.
4. Paint the Barbie's hair with a mixer of white food coloring and hairspray.
5. Once the hairspray has hardened, cut away the excess hair.
6. Bake 2 boxes of cake mix in a Wilton doll cake pan.
7. Remove the cakes from the pan and slice the cake into three equal layers.
8. Stack the cakes with buttercream between each layer.
9. Crumb coat the entire cake and place into the fridge for 30 minutes.
10. Add a second coat of buttercream.

12. Cover the doll cake in a 14-inch circle of white fondant.
13. Enhance the folds at the bottom of the cake.
14. Place your doll in the middle of the cake.
15. Wrap fondant around the doll's waist.
16. Add defining lines to the front of the cake to make it look like fabric.
17. Roll out the white fondant and cut it into a 6-inch trapezoid shape.
18. Loosely add a trapezoid to the middle part of the gown.
19. Use fondant sculpting tools to create fabric lines on the trapezoid.
20. Add fabric lines to the bottom of the cake to match the trapezoids.
21. Add a smaller trapezoid of fondant on top of the 6-inch one and add fabric texture.
22. Wrap the back and the sides of the cake with a large panel of baby blue fondant.
23. Cut away the excess blue fondant and leave the trapezoid panels exposed.
24. Use a fondant roller to add large fabric lines to the blue panels.

32. Wrap both arms with long rectangles of blue fondant.
