Realizing a Dream

My toughest challenge to date - this Barbie cake. My regular customer, Farah gave me a Barbie doll and begged me to do a Barbie cake for her. I went berserk at first thinking the amount of work and ingenuity required to do this cake but I dived in head first all the same seeing that I am sucker for challenges. Yeap, throw them at me, straight or curved, I'll do my ultimate best to catch it irregardless how I do it - terbalik ke, tertonggeng ke, I'll give my 150% best effort.


This is one heavy and hefty cake. I had to bake four butter cakes to make it high enough to reach Barbie's waist. Baking the cakes itself required three hours of work. The decoration part? Four hours straight!! I referred to countless of Barbie pictures trying to get one that satisfied my vision of a sweet and simple design.


At last, I came up with this. What you see here is my own design, inspired by countless of Barbie's ball gown. Under the pink fondant is a mountain of a butter cake layered with apple jam and vanilla buttercream.

This Barbie cake weighs in at 4 kg. The price? Please email or call me for a consult and I'll quote you a price based from the consultation.


Thank you very much Farah for giving me this opportunity and thus proving to myself that I can finally do a Barbie cake. I sincerely hope you have realized your dream and I know I've realized mine.
