Most of you DollDiaries readers know that I have two daughters. The younger one, Natalie (also known as Alex17), is the one who is really into American Girl dolls and other 18″ play dolls, but the older one, Megan is more of a fashion girl and loves her Barbie collection. She officially becomes a teenager tomorrow and all she wants to do for her birthday is go shopping with her friends.
Here is the birthday cake I made her..
This was the easiest cake ever and as you can see, my frosting skills are less than fabulous. I just frosted a regular layer cake I made, added some silver sprinkles and found the cutest Barbie pen that has its own base for the topper. The pen is Barbie carrying a bunch of shopping bags and it was just too perfect not to get. I found it (along with some other designs) at A.C. Moore up by the cash registers for just a few dollars.
Now we did remove Barbie before Megan blew out the candles because Barbie was getting a little nervous in the “ring of fire” created by the lit candles.
Here are more Barbie cake ideas if you just happen to be looking for inspiration.
So cute. Nice touch with the sparkles. FIRSTIE!!!!!!!!!
That is SO CUTE!
SECONDIE!!!! Don’t feel bad Char. It is ALOT better than what I would be able to do. (I can’t cook anything unless it is microwavable or a frozen pizza xD) I hope your daughter has a good birthday.
I love this cake!
fourthie!!!!! love it
I’m glad your daughter is still into Barbies. I thought i was the only teenager still into them. She should get on here too and start commenting like Natalie. I’ll look out for that pen at Acmoore
Thanks. She actually has her own site and you all would love it. She does nail designs, hair and make up reviews and has her own YouTube channel. Her site is http://www.razberriez.com.

HEY!!!!! I know someone who will be a teenager soon too. She rocks. She loves AG though.
This reminds me of a birthday cake that I had for my birthday 6 years ago. My mom bought a cake from the store, and, because I loved My Little Ponies (i was 6 years old at the time, so it was quite common for 6-year-old girls to like My Little Ponies), she bought a Sparkleworks Pony, put a My Little Pony ballerina outfit on Sparkleworks, and put her in the middle of the cake as a cake topper! I didn’t realize this back then, but I think that little Spark got scared in the “ring of fire” created by the candles that were around her!
