Tutorial: Cabbage Patch Doll Covered With Mmf

Hello!

Today I want to share with you a tutorial I made for a vintage 3d Wilton pan (Cabbage Patch Doll) I bought on ebay

This is the pan and the cake

I painted the whole cake with jam to glue the MMF to the cake.

I decided to start with the face, so for that I pressed a piece of stirred fondant (MMF) against the pan. This way I made sure I'd have a perfect face that fited correctly on the cake too.

Then I trimmed it a little and put it on the cake's face. The same process was done for the hands.

For the dress I stirred a piece of MMF and glued it, molded it and cut it right on the cake.

Then I added some other things

I painted the mouth, the blush, made some mmf eyes and some other little details.

I made the hair using a round tip with crusting buttercream to make sure it gets crusted after it's done (It's 4 times the weight of fat on icing sugar, some cocoa and little milk)

The final picture is also posted on this wonderful website. You may take a look if you like

I hope you liked it, and that somehow someone has found it useful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really cute cake. If I come across a pan, maybe I'll try it. But the fondant in pan technique would be useful for other pans too Thanks

That is so cool!! Thank you for sharing. Now I have a problem.....my three year old was looking at it and oohing and aahhing. That's how she roped me into making her "telephone cake" which was supposed to be for her third birthday in Sept. but didn't get made/served until yesterday at my in-law's house for Thanksgiving dessert!!

Guess it's a good thing you made a tutorial, huh?! lol I know what she's going to start bugging me for for her fourth birthday.

Awesome idea for the fondant molding! Thank you! Also, your cake looks great. I still have my original cabbage patch kid. Are they really vintage now? Am I that old?

Thanks for that tutorial , I haven't seen cabbage patch stuff since I was a little girl. I guess I should make myself one since I never had a doll.

I am adding in this post another tutorial I made using the same technique. I think I invented it myself (at least I have never seen it anywhere) but quite easy. All you need are 3d or novelty/shaped pans to make it.
In this case I used a nordicware Santa tin.

WOw! Great job. I love Cabbage patch dolls and the santa looks so cute.

Sugar plum- that telephone cake is amazing! That was the only gift I REALLY, REALLY wanted for my baby shower. lol I had one just like it when I was little and now is one of DD's favorite toys and she's 2 1/2.

Amazing tutorials, thanks so much. I've always shied away from 3d pans as have had no idea how to get the detail into the icing, I love your method and will have to give it a go. Amazing talent and so generous too, thanks

I like sharing because I have learned all about decorating here! I have never attended any kind of classes (there were none here where I live) so everything came from here!
Thanks to everyone here on CC for sharing all their knowledge!
