-When the cake is ready, take it out of the oven. Don't forget to pull out the stick.

-Loosen up the sides.

-Flip it over and let it cool.

-Next roll out your fondant, which will be Barbie's skirt.

-Lay the fondant over the cake, then just cut off the excess.

-Make a slit in the top of the cake and put Barbie inside her skirt.

-And then just decorate her skirt using different colored tubes of icing.
