Doll cakes are such fun for any party or event and easier than you think! I love cake decorating and this food art was the perfect creative idea. With Halloween and Breast Cancer awareness month, I needed to make something special with my family nieces and nephews in New York. I decided to visit my family this year in October which was perfect for this project. We make special food art every time I visit. These doll cakes looked over the top special for the girls and then Halloween for the boys. We always do a creative cooking project of some kind the make great memories. Something they would be able to pass on to their children someday. I love making great memories in the kitchen that will be etched in their minds for years to come when they think of Aunt Caca, that was my nickname! Thank you Kelli Kitchen for letting our family get together using your easy techniques we loved the project and it was so perfect for the girls to do this!
A Bitter Sweet Get Together
I have two nieces that have undergone Cancer surgery Alicia having thyroid cancer and Pamela Ward with breast cancer, both are mom's and this was so hard to here that news.
Samantha, who helped me make the breast cancer awareness cake, is Pamela's daughter who has breast cancer. She made this cake to support her mother who has breast cancer for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Her mom Pamela will undergo a radical mastectomy due to this terrible disease. Pam's sister, Alicia, Ryan is her son, she also has thyroid cancer and the girls and guys are helping make cakes to support the cause for both diagnosed with cancer.
These Cakes Make A Great Donation for A Good Cause
These cakes makes a wonderful giveaway for benefits for cancer awareness.
My two great nieces in the front Samantha and Adriana had a fun time making the cakes together and this was a great family project.
Adriana, (my niece Mary's daughter) did the purple and black witch for Halloween.
Easy to Make
These cakes are so easy to make you won't believe it.
The cakes are molded with a 4 cup Pyrex measuring oven proof glass cup!
Update
My sister in law, (my nieces mom) kept a positive attitude during this tough diagnosis.
She was there every step of the way to help her daughters and her love and support was what gave them strength to fight and get through the roughest days they both faced.
Family is everything.
Both girls and five years later are cancer free!
Perfect for Fund Raisers!

We had many fund raiser project and the people were very generous, this would be perfect for Breast Cancer awareness.

We had never experienced this in ours before and this was something we all came together to support them.
I pray for a cure everyday.

This is an easy way to make a doll cake for any birthday, Halloween party, or event themed to match the colors and decorated to match whatever you need.
ingredients:
1- 4 cup glass measuring cup oven proof heavily greased
1 cake mix made to package instructions any flavor
1 can of colored store bought frosting to match your themed cake
sprinkles of choice
coordinating ribbons
dolls bought from the dollar store that come apart at the waist ( you will only need from the waist up)
Popsicle sticks
instructions:
Pour the cake batter into a heavily greased measuring glass cup around half way into the measuring up . Bake to package instructions. Cool a few minutes and dump onto a wax papered cookie sheet to decorate. Cool completely.
Use just the doll head to the waist to place into the cake.
I used the legs for a graveyard cake in this post with the leftover batter baked into a smaller pan.
Crushed oreo cookies on top for the dirt and gummy worms with chocolate frosting on top.
Frost and decorate to whatever theme you like. I am sure you will get creative!
For the Pink Breast Cancer Awareness doll cake I used breast cancer awareness ribbon from the dollar store and pink frosting.
I bought the ribbon from the dollar stores and made a witch hat and did purple and black frosting.

Halloween Recipe Roundup!
Oh my gosh! What beautiful doll cakes! The girls did a much better job than me - and it looks like you had a lovely time doing it. I must say that my favorite part was your great-nephew's graveyard with the doll's legs!! So creative! I'm going to share this on my community page - it's just so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWould be cute next time to make the dolls witches for Halloween. :)
ReplyDeleteI was planning to take a graveyard cake to an office pot-luck the other day. I had made (and written out) cookie headstones, piped a chocolate gate, picked up other spooky candy decorations, etc., but when I inverted the cake out of the pan to frost and decorate it, it completely fell apart lol. Might have to try again for when I'm in the office on Friday.
Great doll cakes and family too, for sure. Love that graveyard cake!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun memories you made for your great nieces! Your whole family does well in the kitchen!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great creative activity for the family to do. I love that the legs did not go to waste! Being supportive together is vital in times as difficult as this, and I am glad to read that there is a happy ending.
ReplyDeleteOh God, these cakes look incredibly beautiful !! This is really a wonderful job! One of my favs. I can't WAIT to try this! Thank you
ReplyDeleteThese cakes bring back memories! My hubby made our daughter a Barbie cake like this when she was little. Also, my hubby is a survivor of thyroid cancer. My heart goes out to your family with best wishes for health.
ReplyDeleteFamily really is everything! What an amazing thing to do for them. Making memories! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think that maybe I should have another baby and maybe it will be a girl so I can make pretty cakes and things....but then I remember the two boys I have are already driving me crazy enough and I'll just let them use the legs for Halloween cakes instead - great ideas!!!
ReplyDeleteCancer sucks... but I'm so happy to hear they are both still cancer free 5 years later!! These cakes are such a fun idea, and a great way to get the kids involved
ReplyDeleteThese cakes a super cute. It is my granddaughter's birthday next month. I bet she would love me to make one of these for her.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe in what I see - it is an incredible piece of art! I would never allow myself to destroy such a beauty lol! Fantastic work - thank you for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteThese cakes look so easy to make. I know my little girl would go crazy if I had this cake at her next party.
ReplyDeleteI love the tradition of baking with the family. These memorable moments will be cherished for years to come!
ReplyDeleteWow and Wow! These cakes are really impressive! Very nice! My children will be delighted with this.
ReplyDeleteThis is really a great job. They are incredible. My kids love interesting cakes. I think they like it. Good idea for a festive table. Thank you for sharing this.
ReplyDeleteWow, you've made some pretty doll cakes for family and friends. I bet there must be some really happy little girls who will always remember their little doll cakes.
ReplyDeleteThese cakes are so beautiful and I love how easy to make them! My both daughters want to make a doll cake!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun idea for Halloween, Claudia! These look very pretty and creative. XO
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your relatives and the struggle before them. That was very sweet of you to go to support them and spend some time with all of them. This is when family is important. In our family we lost someone to cancer -- it's not easy. I miss her every day. Those cakes are super cute! They were certainly made for a good cause.
ReplyDeleteThose doll cakes look amazing - you make it sound very easy to make too :-) Will have to try this for my daughter some time. Thank you for sharing.
