Then came Summer...

...with More graduations, More wedded bliss, More vacation Bible school, More birthdays and More summer Fun!!




and not to be missed, my little girl's birthday cake! A few points of advice here that I learned making this (my first) doll cake: <1>the batter bowl cake I baked was not tall enough to fit the height of the doll, so I baked an additional 8 inch round cake to add to the base and trimmed it to fit. <2> Wrap the doll's legs with plastic wrap and then stick them down through the top center of the cake. Do not decorate the doll before putting her into the cake. And <3> You'll use a lot of icing! I filled in at the top of the cake around the doll's hips to make it a smooth transition into the skirt of the dress from her waist.
