Barbie Cake
My 3 year old daughter wanted a two layer Barbie cake. There were going to be only a few kids invited, so I really didn't need a two layer cake!!! But she insisted! So I baked a Betty Crocker cake out of a box, had my favorite baker sell me some of her frosting plain white and I dyed it at home. With some alphabet cookie cutters I made the "Happy Birthday Marcella" on the front.
Take one package of fondant and color 2/3 astermauve, divide the remaining 1/3 into thirds and color 1/3 blue, 1/3 green and 1/3 violet. Using an amount of the aster mauve equal to the smaller thirds, stack small pieces of the four colors and fold and knead twice to get a marble/striped effect. Using leaf cookie cutters cut out various shapes, be sure to include enough to allow for breakage. Brush with pearl dust and put on flower formers to dry. Use violet and green leftover fondant to form unicorns, using candy mold. Store rest of mauve for later use.
Use swan candy mold and white candy melts to make swans (3). I painted the details in the mold before filling with candy melts. Set aside to harden. (I refrigerated them)
