I've used the Wilton Wondermold for the cake portion of the cake. For the doll portion used a cheap dollar store Barbie. I cut the head off and pulled off the arms, then I covered that with black fondant.

TexasSugar...thats gorgeous!!!!!!

Beautiful cake!

Wow...how beautiful. Great Job.

Thank you.

I also used the Wilton wondermold pan plus a 9" round since it needed to feed more people, but rather than the Barbie, I just hacked up one of the Wilton doll pics and then covered it with black fondant. HTH!
