Doll Cake
Bake a Betty Crocker Angel Food Cake Mix in a 10″ tube pan _OR_ bake
three 8″ cake layers and 12 cupcakes using 2 pkg. Betty Crocker White
Cake Mix. Set cake on a cardboard circle cut to fit. Trim just enough to
give a rounded effect for skirt. Wrap doll below waist with aluminum
foil or pliofilm. Set in hole in center of cake (for layers, cut hole in
centers so doll can stand waist deep).
To decorate: Make Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix as directed on
pkg. Save 2 tbsp. and add 2 to 3 tbsp. _sifted_ confectioners’ sugar.
Tint rest of frosting light pink. Frost cake thinly saving 1½ cups
tinted frosting. Make Decorator Icing (p. 9). Use ¼ cup tinted icing
with #68 leaf tip to make 5 rows of scallop design for ruffled skirt.
Tint icing slightly deeper pink, use half with same tip to continue
scallop design. Tint remaining icing deeper pink and complete skirt. Use
#28 star tip with pink and white icing for flower trim on skirt and
nosegay.
Note: Cupcakes may be frosted to serve at party, in addition to Doll
Cake, or make Petit Fours.
