Ingredients
For this recipe you will need:
- Cake mix
- printable cake topper-I found and printed a simple one on Etsy.

- Sprinkles
Equipment
You will also need some cake pans. I used two 8x8 inch cake toppers but you can use whatever you like. I've even found some pretty LOL cake pans.
Designing your LOL Doll Cake
1. Shape and Layers:
- Begin by baking your preferred cake layers. You can opt for round cake pans to create a layered look resembling the doll's dress. Stack and frost the layers with buttercream or fondant in vibrant colors, matching the LOL Doll theme.
2. LOL Doll Figure:
- Use fondant or modeling chocolate to sculpt an edible LOL Doll figure. Focus on details like the doll's facial features, hairstyle, and iconic accessories. Place the doll figure atop the cake, either standing or sitting, as a central decorative element. You can also purchase a toy doll to use as a cake topper.
- I printed a banner from Etsy onto cardstock and used skewers to attach them into the cake.
3. Bright Colors and Details:
- Decorate the cake with bright and playful colors synonymous with the LOL Dolls. Use fondant or edible paint to add intricate details, such as polka dots, stripes, or the doll's unique patterns, to the cake's exterior.
4. Incorporate Elements:
- Include elements that resemble the LOL Doll's accessories or favorite items, like bows, stars, or miniature props made from fondant or candy, arranged around the cake.
- You can also do some fun interactive elements like these chocolate surprise eggs or these chocolate pinatas.
5. Personalize with Age or Name:
- Add a touch of personalization by incorporating the birthday girl's age or name onto the cake using fondant cutouts or edible markers.
