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.
