How To Make Decorating Cake Barbiecore - Step-by-Step
Ingredients and Supplies:
- Baked and cooled cake layers (your favorite flavor)
- Buttercream frosting (homemade or store-bought)
- Assorted food coloring (pink, purple, and any other pastel shades)
- Barbie doll (make sure it's clean and sanitized)
- Edible glitter or edible pearl dust (optional, for that extra sparkle)
- Piping bags and tips (star or round tips work best)
Instructions:
1. Prepare Your Cake Layers:
- Start by baking your cake layers and letting them cool completely. You can use any cake flavor you like, whether it's classic vanilla, chocolate, or a delightful strawberry. Level the tops of the cake layers using a knife or cake leveler for a smooth surface.
2. Create the Buttercream Frosting:
- Whip up a batch of fluffy buttercream frosting in a large mixing bowl. Divide the frosting into separate bowls and add different food coloring to each bowl to achieve the pastel shades you desire. Mix well until the colors are vibrant and even.
3. Frost and Stack the Cake Layers:
- Take one of the cake layers and place it on a cake board or serving platter. Spread a generous amount of one of the colored buttercream frostings on top. Carefully place the next cake layer on top and repeat the process until all layers are stacked and frosted with different pastel shades.
4. Create the Ombré Effect:
- To achieve that gorgeous ombré effect, take a large icing spatula or a bench scraper. Hold it at a slight angle against the cake and gently rotate the cake while smoothing the sides. This will blend the different colored frostings and create a beautiful gradient.
5. Insert the Barbie Doll:
- Now, it's time to give your cake that iconic Barbiecore touch! Gently insert the Barbie doll into the center of the cake, making sure she's secure and standing tall. The cake layers will form her voluminous skirt, and the effect is simply stunning!
6. Decorate and Add Sparkle:
- Use piping bags and tips to add additional decorations to the cake, such as rosettes, swirls, or stars. Get creative and let your imagination run wild! For that extra touch of sparkle, dust some edible glitter or pearl dust over the cake. It will make your Barbiecore creation truly magical.
7. Showcase Your Masterpiece:
- Your Barbiecore Cake is now ready to steal the spotlight! Display it proudly at your celebration, and get ready for all the compliments and wows from your guests.
Creating a Barbiecore Cake is a delightful and whimsical way to celebrate any special occasion, whether it's a birthday, bridal shower, or just a fabulous gathering with friends. It's a cake that's all about embracing femininity, style, and the joy of baking.
