EASY Store-bought cake:
Of course, the easiest option is to leave the birthday cake to the professionals and buy it from a cake shop or supermarket bakery. Barbie is a very popular theme for cakes, so finding a pre-made cake with this theme is fairly easy.

EASY Homemade cake with store-bought decorations:
You can make a homemade cake and decorate it with an official Barbie cake-topper, Barbie candles or Barbie sugar decorations. A simple layer cake, frosted pink, can look sensational dressed up with Barbie cake accessories and a sprinkling of purple glitter sugar. These items can be found at a specialty cake decorating store, or you can order them online.

CHALLENGING Homemade “dress” cake:
One of the most popular and enduring Barbie cake designs is the one in which a special doll cake topper is inserted at the top of a bell-shaped cake, creating the effect of a Barbie wearing a wide, hoop-skirted dress. The cake “skirt” can be decorated lavishly with icing and sugar decorations. The doll cake topper and bell-shaped cake pan can be purchased at any specialty cake decorating supply store. This is a fairly advanced cake creation project, so it’s for experienced bakers only.


CHALLENGING Homemade "fashion" cake:
If you're handy with the icing bag and you like to decorate, you could make a sheet cake with pink and purple fashion accessories drawn on it in icing: knee-high boots, high-heeled shoes, purses, etc.

EASY Cupcake cake:
Cupcakes are very popular with kids and adults alike these days! Making cupcakes instead of a cake can be easier to make and easier to serve. And when grouped together artfully, cupcakes can look just as impressive as a big cake. Here are some ideas:

Ice half the cupcakes with purple frosting and pink sprinkles, and the other half with pink frosting and purple sprinkles. Arrange them close together on a platter in an alternating pattern for an eye-popping presentation.

Arrange pink-frosted cupcakes in a circle or rectangle on a large platter and use homemade icing, a purchased icing squeezer or purchased sugar decorations in hot pink or purple to spell out a birthday message, with a single letter for each cupcake.

Decorate each pink-frosted cupcake with a mini doll figurine, such as a Barbie Peek-a-boo Petite doll.

Serve frosted cupcakes plain, and provide bowls full of pink-and-purple candy goodies that the girls can use to decorate their own cupcakes. You can also turn the cupcakes into little "purse" cakes by bending thin liquorice strips into u-shapes and poking each end into the cupcake to create a stand-up handle. The girls can create their own designer purse with jelly beans and other colourful candies.
