| Barbie Doll Cake |
This December my girl Heidi will turn 4 and I've promised her that I will make Barbie Doll Cake . Gosh , I need to learn and practise very quick quick quick . I have seen many types of BD cake in people's blog and they also post how to make and decorate it . I choose the one with Fondant coz it easier to make . this blog provide how to make and shape the BD cake skirt : www.sun-sentinel.com
Coz this one is only for Practising , I decided to use normal butter cake coz it easy and fast to make.
below is Fondant recipe from http://allrecipes.com:
INGREDIENTS
1 (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
1/4 cup cold water
1/2 cup glucose syrup
1 tablespoon glycerin
2 tablespoons shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
DIRECTIONS
Combine gelatin and cold water; let stand until thick. Place gelatin mixture in top of double boiler and heat until dissolved.
Add glucose and glycerin, mix well. Stir in shortening and just before completely melted, remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Mixture should cool until lukewarm.
Place 4 cups confectioners' sugar in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and using a wooden spoon, stir in the lukewarm gelatin mixture. Mix in sugar and add more a little at a time, until stickiness disappears. Knead in remaining sugar. Knead until the fondant is smooth, pliable and does not stick to your hands. If fondant is too soft, add more sugar; if too stiff, add water (a drop at a time). Use fondant immediately or store in airtight container in fridge. When ready to use, bring to room temperature and knead again until soft.
I combine apple green, white and pink flower for the gown , I think it's lovely isn't it ?
