Maybe Cake Supervisor? not Boss

My twin babies decided that they needed to turn 3 yesterday. So sadly I let them. They have grown up so quickly!  2 birthdays means 2 cakes. I decided to make my baby boy a baseball hat cake. My baby girl a princess cake.  ( THIS IS NOT A TUTORIAL) I just wanted to show you the mess :)

I did bake 2 dome shaped cakes in glass bowls. One turned out well...

And one pretty much fell apart..
 Alas, no worries yet. I can sew with no needle, so i can surely conquer this.

I also baked 2 8 inch round cakes as well. One would be the base of the princess dress. The other the bill of the baseball hat. I will jump to the finale of the baseball hat....

The princess was another story. After much trimming cussing and icing eating I was able to get a nice enough shape for the cake. However, because this dome didn't stay intact, it was a bit smaller than needed.
Wonder how I knew?

So after much anguish. I was able to kill 2 birds with one stone. I could fix my cake and relieve some of my frustration.  

WARNING---- MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR BARBIE LOVERS----

BAM!!!!!  TAKE THAT!  I bet if you were real you would be
like " OH I need to watch my figure so I wont have cake" So what eve. I made sure my daughter was out of the room on this part. BTW- Barbie legs are a lot harder to break now. I remember as a kid those trunks would come off if you tried to fit her in her little shoes. Now, I almost need pliers or cousin Vinny to "Go breaka her legs"
FIN
Ya wouldnt even have known the trama this Barbie went through. She is so strong and graceful. I know she went right to her legal advising, beauty shop, bakery that is located by the pool where she is also the lifeguard. Busy girl .
Anyhoo,cakes were a hit, with the kidlets anyway. The kitchen got a bit of action too.  Have a great weekend! PEACE
