50 bucks for a cake!!!

So it's my baby's 5th birthday. We aren't having a party for her but we will be going to my parents house and I told her she could help me pick out her cake. OF course she insisted it had to be the cake that's made with a real barbie.
I remember my older daughter having one like this but I can't imagine I paid 50 bucks for it. Really it's not a very large cake.
I didn't order it but I'm thinking I could do it myself.


anyone ever make one of these? Any ideas on how to do this without buying a special pan?

I made these @ the bakery....same exact one. We charged $10 for it. We had 3 cake rounds, cut in circle all same size, stack (no dowels needed) and then we used a knife to shape it. Iced it, and decorated it. Viola! To a lot of people the carving scares them away, but really, its easy!

Good luck!
You could always cut the legs off of the Barbie! lmao!!! j/k

Actually the ones @ the bakery, do not have legs...AnnK- you can go to Walmart or where ever and tell them you just want to buy that toy barbie...they are $5, and it may be cheaper than paying for a barbie anyway. If you buy a real barbie it will be way to tall.
I just went to walmart and bought a real Barbie for 6 bucks and two boxes of cake mix for 1.00 each. Way better then 50 bucks. I don't know who winndixie thinks they got making cakes back there but that markup is outrageous.

I figure I can just rip her legs off. LOL
I very much agree its cheaper...we sold ours for $9 which I think is a great price. Maybe they just messed up and gave you the wrong price? We did not even charge $50 for a full sheet cake...
