I got to make my very first
doll cake!!
When I was little, I remember
my mom making doll cakes for my birthday, so I’ve always wanted to make one
(difficult as a mother of boys!)
Lucky for me, my friend’s
daughter requested an Elsa doll cake for her 4th birthday!
After spontaneously breaking
out in “Let It Go” over the course of a week, it was time to get to work.
Here are a few Elsa process
shots, as she gets a fondant mini dress and then a lovely Rich Chocolate Cake
skirt.
The trickiest part of the
cake was her translucent cape.
The
solution came from Cakes ROCK!, who modified Imaginarium Cake’s gelatin technique
to make a sheer cape. I placed a fondant
pale teal cape, imprinted with snowflakes (I used a clean rubber stamp) to give
the detailing of Elsa’s cape.
Then the gelatin cape gave it
a sheer, sparkly look. I made my cape on
a silicone baking mat, so I ended up with a bit of texture and beading which I
loved! Doesn’t it look like icicles on
the edges?
With an Elsa this pretty, I
feel it’s perfectly all right to belt out a few verses of “Let It Go!”
