All Dolled Up & Nowhere To Run
July 24, 2018 Believe it or not, doll cakes can be tricky! Observe:
Stick the doll in too low, and she looks like she's being swallowed:
;)
Too high, and she's being abducted by aliens:
;)
Not to mention there's all that pesky "understanding how a doll cake works" thing:
;)
"Wait... the cake is supposed to be her skirt? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Happily bakers are putting their own spin on the classic doll cake, though, and now there are so many more styles to choose from! Like:
The "Just Woke Up From A Weekend In Vegas":
;)
Best served with warm Tequila and a cold shower.
The "Smart Women Stand In Blue Meringue Pies":
;)
The "Fish Story":
;)
She's little in the middle but she's got much... tail?
The "Frozen Princess... Defrosted":
;)
Oh, and that reminds me:
;)
YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE, RITA.
And finally, my very favorite:
The "Creepy Doll Bridal Party":
;)
This one has a fun feature: when the time comes to cut the cake, they all turn their little heads in your direction and just. STARE.
Thanks to Tina L. Sandra, Anne S., Kylie M., Kimberly C., Lia A., Katy M., Meghan W., & Kelly K. for getting all dolled up on us.
(If you're wondering why that last one's my favorite - and you have a high tolerance for creepy dolls - you might like this. :D)

=^-.-^=
My friend's mother's idea of a "doll cake" was to take the head off a large baby doll and stick that on top of the cake. I thought it was great, but when my mother found out, she wasn't sure about letting me go to any more of this friend's birthday parties. God only knew where that head had been, she said.
What was that about boomerang pies? That'd make for a new spin on old slapstick.
Are those toilet paper rolls under the bridesmaids dresses?
The expression on Rita's face is priceless!
Is . . . is that morning-after-Vegas cake surrounded by . . . pink marshmallows?! :-O
In regards to the mermaid, I can just hear it now -- "Does this tail fin make my butt look too big?"
All that sushi must have gone to her hips...lol.
Their goes my appetite... :/
*looks at last picture*
*terrified and unending screaming*
Is #6 a cake or a salmon mousse?
' Miss Vegas ' is sitting in ( on ?? ) a brain . 0-o
The fish one reminds me of Great Big Sea's "The Mermaid"....

Um... the "Just Woke Up From A Weekend In Vegas" cake...
Does the front top half of the skirt look like brains? Or is it just me?
I actually WANT the creepy doll party. And, excuse me, but number three is NOT a skirt. That is a faery popping out of a flower. Or a mushroom. Or a flushroom. !!! I think I've got it!
@Chris:
Except her face doesn’t appear to be a work of art. But I agree, I do not like the tail.
(And may I say, it’s refreshing to hear someone else who knows this wonderful music. Most people look at me like I’m the mermaid’s sister. Where you from, b’y?)
Bravo to the baker of Rita's Frozen cake for making it look like that unappetizing blue cotton candy in a bag you'd find at, like, Venture back in the day. (Who else remembers Venture? It was like Target, but with zebra stripes.)
And I just heard all the bridesmaids "click" blink at the same time. I'm never sleeping again!
That bridal party is cracking me up and also scaring me at the same time lol.
Love your daily posts - my husband said on the "Frozen" cake that's enclosed (2nd to last one) that it looks like she's gasping for air!
The Barbie one with the flower/garden "dress" is supposed to be the one used for Tinkerbell, but for some reason they slapped Barbie on it? Maybe Tink was out of stock that day lol
