Marie Antoinette Doll Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cake, mixes plus required ingredients (16 ounces each)
24 ounces white fondant
light blue food coloring
35 ounces classic buttercream frosting for the icing
blue luster dust
white luster dust
gold luster dust
vodka

Preparation

Find and buy a Barbie Doll with long curly hair. I am using Barbie Fashionista Doll #70.
Turn the doll upside down.
Place a ball of cling wrap into the middle of the dolls hair. Surround the ball with hair and tie it together with a rubber band.
Paint the Barbie's hair with a mixer of white food coloring and hairspray.
Once the hairspray has hardened, cut away the excess hair.
Bake 2 boxes of cake mix in a Wilton doll cake pan.
Remove the cakes from the pan and slice the cake into three equal layers.
Stack the cakes with buttercream between each layer.
Crumb coat the entire cake and place into the fridge for 30 minutes.
Add a second coat of buttercream.
Cut a hole big enough to fit a Barbie doll's legs into the top layer of cake.
Cover the doll cake in a 14-inch circle of white fondant.
Enhance the folds at the bottom of the cake.
Place your doll in the middle of the cake.
Wrap fondant around the doll's waist.
Add defining lines to the front of the cake to make it look like fabric.
Roll out the white fondant and cut it into a 6-inch trapezoid shape.
Loosely add a trapezoid to the middle part of the gown.
Use fondant sculpting tools to create fabric lines on the trapezoid.
Add fabric lines to the bottom of the cake to match the trapezoids.
Add a smaller trapezoid of fondant on top of the 6-inch one and add fabric texture.
Wrap the back and the sides of the cake with a large panel of baby blue fondant.
Cut away the excess blue fondant and leave the trapezoid panels exposed.
Use a fondant roller to add large fabric lines to the blue panels.
Roll out blue fondant and cut out the penguin pattern shape.
Fold the pattern over at a diagonal to create the penguin fold.
Apply the penguin fold to the edge of the blue panel.
Add fabric texture with sculpting tools.
Repeat the process on the other side of the blue fondant.
Create the top of the barbie by wrapping a rectangle of blue fondant around the top of the doll.
Cut away the extra fondant at the bottom.
Wrap both arms with long rectangles of blue fondant.
Cover the front of the dolls bust area with a trapezoid of fondant that is one shade lighter than the blue panels.
Use soft sculpting tools to add detail to the bust area.
Add trim to the top with a lighter shade of fondant.
Use soft sculpting tools to add detail to the trim.
Add a trim of light blue fondant to create a square neckline.
Create bell sleeves using light blue fondant.
Add texture to waist using soft sculpting tools.
Create Fondant flowers using an impression mold.
Place a fondant bow at the front of her waist by using two triangles and a fondant rose.
Use blue luster dust and vodka to add some shine to the gown.
Add white luster dust to the penguin pattern to add depth to the dress.
Add fondant flowers to the middle of the top.
Use grey buttercream in a piping bag with a Wilton 10 tip to add a border to the blue panels.
Add a smaller border sing a Wilton 5 round tip.
Add gold luster dust to the roses as well as the bottom of the white trapezoid panels.
Add three pink flowers to the doll's hair.
