I swear that every single time we pass the bakery section of the local grocery store my daughter stops, pulls out her pointer finger, extends her arm as far as it will go, and exclaims for the world around to hear
"THAT CAKE RIGHT THERE! THAT WILL BE MY BIRTHDAY CAKE WHEN I TURN FIVE! FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! IT WILL BE MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!"
And I know that, if I don't get that Barbie doll-in-a-cake cake for her next birthday, she will hurt me.
That is no joke and I hope this post is admissible in a court of law. Just in case.
At the very least if I don't get that cake I will need to switch grocery stores, and I don't like change, so.
Anway, based on her desperate reaction to the Barbie confection, I think her head might explode if she ever saw THIS cake.
Giving new, disturbing meaning to the phrase EAT ME.
It's a cake. It's a dress. It's a cake dress that you wear and eat and serve to everyone you know! Because everyone likes to eat cake that other people have worn.
I dunno, as appealing as being surrounded by yummy, yummy cake sounds? This doesn't really appear that comfortable or even seem all that sanitary. I'd be scared if I was wearing it that someone might get greedy and stab me by accident. Or maybe I might be driven to shooing people away and eating myself into a bikini. (That last theory is highly probable.)
And if my child learns that someone can make her into a Barbie-doll-in-a-cake cake? I might not make it to her sixth.

I…okay don’t hate me or kick me off the island for this. I um bought the Barbie cake for my oldest when she turned 6. Cost a butt load too. I won’t even buy Barbies, but I bought her that cake.
I’m going to call it a momentary laps in judgment. It was tasty ass cake though.
But being put in a real cake? Insane. Who the hell would want to eat that. You’d sweat in it. Ewwwww sweat cake. Bleh.
@Issa — I would never EVER kick you off the island especially for something I will be doing myself in mere months. Im in trouble of epic proportions if that barbie cake isnt at her 5th birthday party.
And agreed: Ewwwwwwwwwwwww. Sweat cake aint sweet.
Oh, I love it! (not the real-lady cake, the barbie cake.) When I was a kid my mom found a similar cake doll whose lower half was a spike instead of legs. It was pretty much that cake with a generic doll instead of Barbie. You baked the “skirt” and popped that doll spike into it. then decorate it all the way up to cover her chest with frosting for a complete dress. Crazy! But I remember it to this day as the best cake ever.
ewwww. and is that a fruit cake? who makes a huge lady cake that that as a fruit cake? no-even likes fruit cake when it’s small.
The real-life Barbie cake really turned my stomach. Who thinks of this stuff? As for the regular cake, there are limited opportunities to indulge one’s Barbie cake desires. I’d say one’s fifth birthday is the the perfect time.
Yeah those barbie cakes are insanely expensive!!!! If you have any skills at all make your own.
But have you seen this cake: http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/2008/05/when-brides-have-no-budget-or-taste.html its way better than a “you in the cake” cake as then she’d have to stand still. Instead you could have a life size replica of her made entirely out of cake!
Fruit Cakes are quite addictive and my mom always bake them every month.*.;
Fruit Cakes are the specialty of my grandmother, she bakes lots of fruit cakes.-~.
i love those german fruit cakes because they have more nuts in it **
