When I was a kid, we had these big plastic dolls. If you're more than 35 years old, you probably know the ones I'm talking about, the ones from the 60's with hard plastic limbs and faces, sometimes with a cloth body and sometimes with a plastic body. I thought I would use my old doll as inspiration for a cake some day.
In years past, we've had for our Easter dessert a chocolate cake shaped like a lamb. My son soon learned to dread those lamb cakes and nearly begged me not to make them anymore. So, this year, I thought I'd go a little different direction and make an Easter doll cake. Turns out it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.
Since I'm redirecting some viewers from Cake Central to this page to see how this cake was made, my Cake Central username is TooMuchCake. I'm telling you this so that someone stumbling upon this page and my page on Cake Central won't think that I stole these photos from myself.
