A bundt pan works just as well as a pyrex bowl. I personally prefer to use the Wilton Wonder Mold. Just makes a nicer dress. I also prefer to use a real Barbie Doll instead of the doll pick.
Take a look at my pictures, I have two doll pictures there. One with a real Barbie, the other with a doll pick.
I think the Wonder Mold is a nice pan to have, it's not just for doll cakes.

I have found that you have to have another cake under the Wonder Mold in order to get enough height you need for the tall Barbie. At least a 2" layer. I like to use a 10" round. After placing the Wonder Mold on top of the frosted layer, I usually carver out a larger hole to acomodate the Barbie. I wrap the Barbie with plastic wrap from her waist to her feet. I then just push her down into the hole. She will still stick up a bit, showing her butt. I cover this with frosting or cake pieces. Then I go about decorating the skirt. For the bodice I either use fondant or frosting. Just depends on my mood.

Hi Jeannette,
I bake it in a pampered chef bowl and place that cake on top of 8 inch cakes for the height of the Barbie.
Just wrap an undressed Barbie with saran wrap anywhere it will come in contact with the cake and stick her down in the middle. Build the icing around her middle and bust and decorate.
I love using the wonder mold for the Barbie cake w/9 or 10" rd under it. The wonder mold has a rod in the middle so it bakes nicely. The Barbie fits perfectly to her waist using these two pans. I also wrap w/saran from waist down. Be sure to send the clothes that were on her w/the cake.
I bake mine in a glass pyrex bowl and then play an 8" cake under it. I stick a flower nail to the bottom of the bowl with some batter to help cook the center. It doesn't matter if it's a little cooked in there, you will cut the middle out anyways.
I then cut a hole, perfect for her hips. Wrap her in saran wrap and stick her in!
