Thank you! I made the bodice from fondant. I cut a piece wide enough to wrap around her, then trimmed it to size. I brushed a tiny bit of water on the doll and formed it to her body. The sleeves and collar are gumpaste and were attached after the bodice. I formed the sleeves from balls of gumpaste and worked them into shape using a little ball tool then slipped them over her hands and up the arms.
This is a beautiful cake, I assume it is a real snow white barbie doll versus the wilton doll picks you can purchase. I am making a cinderella and snow white cake for my daughters third birthday this weekend and I got the actual barbie dolls so it would really look like them and am a little concerned about sticking the whole doll, legs and all into the cake. Did you run into any trouble when you made yours?
Those bees are really cute, I am making a Winnie the Pooh cake for my niece this weekend and I need to make some bees for the honey comb...I was going to make them out of fondant, but yours look really good...how did you do them?
