I'm going to make a doll cake and I'm eager for any advice. Some doll cakes look fairly elegant, while some look like big fat blobs. It's just for my daughter, so if it is a blob, no one but me will care, but I'd love to do a good job. How do you make it look nice?

Use the doll cake pan for starters. It gives the right shape. The blob ones look like they might have been baked in a bowl.

Use the Wilton wonder mould, it looks really nice and pretty easy to decorate.
Goodluck.
