Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans, lining the bottoms with parchment paper.
Prepare the cake batter in batches by mixing one box of cake mix with 1 1/4 cups water, 3 eggs, and 1/3 cup oil until smooth.
Bake layers for 29-34 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean, then let cool; repeat until all six layers are baked and cooled.
Level the cooled cakes with a serrated knife and stack five layers on a cake board with blue buttercream between each layer.
Wrap the doll’s lower half in plastic wrap, insert her into the center of the stack, add the sixth layer if necessary, and chill for 30 minutes.
Carefully carve the chilled cake into a rounded bell shape using a serrated knife, starting from the waist and working downwards.
Apply a thin crumb coat of blue frosting over the entire cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set.
Use a piping bag with a large star tip to cover the cake in blue rosettes, starting at the base and working up to the doll’s waist.

Notes

For the best results, ensure your buttercream is stiff enough to hold its shape; if the kitchen is warm, chill the frosting periodically. When carving, use small, light strokes to avoid removing too much cake at once, and keep the cake scraps for a quick snack or to make cake pops later.
