Buying a professionally made children’s cake ensures a smooth, stable design with a flawless finish. Home-baked versions can collapse or lose detail when frosting the gown. The Cupcake Factory’s team creates each Pink Barbie Cake by hand, ensuring the buttercream layers, floral patterns, and proportions are consistent and picture-perfect for your celebration.
How far in advance should I order a doll cake?
Please allow at least 48 hours’ notice. This ensures time for baking, cooling, and decoration, including the detailed buttercream piping and doll placement that make the Pink Barbie Cake so distinctive.
