Two of my favorite childhood characters came to live in my kitchen this week. I don't really remember the story about Strawberry Shortcake, but I do recall having a Strawberry Shortcake mini-house and lots of plastic figures. I also had a Strawberry Shortcake doll that smelled wonderful and had a fabulous haircut thanks to yours truly and a pair of scissors. My Mom loves to hassle me about cutting my dolls hair. I will post of picture of the Strawberry Shortcake cake later this week. I also made my first Barbie cake this week. Mattie sure is a lucky girl! She had two parties with two fabulous cakes to celebrate her 5th birthday on Tuesday.
No, I did not bake Barbie in the cake! The cake is actually 3-9 inch round cakes topped off with a cake I baked in a mixing bowl. Better yet, Barbie is made of carrot cake with a top secret pecan filling. I made Barbie's dress pink to match the streaks of pink in her hair. I hope Mattie had a wonderful birthday celebration all week!
