Where To Put Birthday Message?
Decorating By cakesrock Updated 12 Jul 2010 , 4:37am by sweetiesbykim
I made a barbie doll cake sitting on a 12" round for my daughter's 3rd b-day. The 12 inch round is filled up with string work & ruffles and borders, so I have nowhere to put the happy birthday message because I cannot put it on the barbie's dress. I would appreciate ideas...
TIA!
I always offset my doll cakes so they sit at the back of a 12" cake base (see my tinkerbell pics) - that leaves more room in the front of the skirt/dress for a message.
If you've already placed and decorated the cake, could you get a 16" board to set the 12" on top of and write the message on the edge of the 16" board?
I would create a long rectangular sash and place over the base of your 12 in round, or on the Barbie's dress like txdiann said.

DITTO!! 
Here is the finished product. I took the great advice of setting the doll cake back on the 12 inch round so I could add the b-day message. I did something a bit different for the number though - I made a little bouquet. However, it was the most challenging part of the cake. The wire kept sliding out when I was trying to attach it to the dolls hand...but it was a fun and challenging cake and my little girl LUVS it!
Thanks for all the help ccers!
What a pretty cake! I love how you did the bouquet with the number in it.
Ditto, I think little touches like this just Just perfect!!! And LOVE the bouquet with the 3 -it was well worth the effort!! Great job
