I will be making my first doll cakes for my niece later this month and after looking at pictures I am really wondering how the heck you cut those things.
Also, I'm planning on putting the doll on a one-layer cake base and wondering, do you just put the doll cake right on top?
Thanks!
What I did was to the take the doll out, and make a horizontal cut about 3 inches from the top, and cut that "circle" in 4 pieces. Then cut again horizontally, and cut that 'circle" in like 6 pieces since it was wider, makes sense?
As for your second question, if you look at my pictures you will see a "Belle" that I did like that, I just put the wonder cake on top of a 9 inch round, I didn't use a cake circle in between, just buttercream, however the doll was tall enough to get to the bottom of that cake so it acted like a dowel. I don't know if using the regular Wilton doll picks would make it unstable.
I always use a cake circle between my doll cake and the base cake and I have used both the full doll and doll pick and the cake has always been stable. Just be sure to fill the centre with buttercream so the doll can't shift around. As for the cutting, I cut exactly as Eren suggested then depending what base I use (usually a 10" square) I just cut apx. 2" squares. HTH
