Barbie - I used one w/a plastic bodice and just matched the color of the skirt - Wilton wonder mold w/RBC... I did strips to give the look of layered fabric. Cupcakes - just BC w/sprinkles and princess cake picks. Ya don't need to do much when you use the wrappers.
I used Wilton's 11 x 15 book cake pan. I forget what flavor the cake was lol. BC icing with RBC sides. The pages were done with bendable sewing ruler. Hand painted Icing sheets using light box technique for the outlines with black food color, and colored in with petal dust. Then, I dusted the edges of the pages and sides with petal dust. Bookmark made w/gum-paste.
I used Wilton's 11 x 15 book pan. Italian Cream cake w cream cheese icing. It's meant to look like an old photo album. I ordered the icing sheets online using their black and white wedding picture. Sides of book are done with a thin layer of RBC, next a bendable (sewing) ruler was used to make the pages, then dusted with gold luster dust. Because of the high oil content the gold shows up really well. Bookmark was gum-paste dust w/gold luster dust.

Swiss Chocolate Fudge Cake and BC Icing. 12"x18" sheet and 8" round cut to shape. I cut the round in half and cut each side of the halves then put them on the corner of the sheet cake so that they matched up with the corner. Next, I trimmed the other three corners of the sheet and placed them around the halves of the round to form the shape. Then, I carved the pool out and covered the entire cake w/bc. Pool surround and stairs are 70% rolled bc / 30% fondant. Pool water is tinted piping gel. Umbrella, lounge chairs, tropical drink, ladder (painted w/luster dust), diving board, and plant pots are gumpaste with bc plants and grass.
