Grease a Wilton Wonder Mold pan set (12-cup capacity) and a 24cm round x 7cm deep cake pan.

Spoon two mixes into Wonder pan and two mixes into round pan. Smooth tops. 3 Cook both cakes in a moderately slow oven (160C) for about 1 hour, 20 minutes, or until cooked when tested. Remove. Stand in pans for 20 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. 4 To make blue frosting, beat butter in a small bowl of an electric mixer until pale. Add sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating until smooth. Tint blue. 5 To make green frosting, repeat method for blue frosting, but tint it green. 6 Trim top of cakes to sit flat. Invert 24cm cake onto a cake board. Reserve 1½ cups blue frosting. Spread remaining blue frosting over top and side of cake. 7 Invert remaining cake on top. Remove legs from doll and insert into top of cake. Spread ½ cup green frosting over cake. Spoon remaining green frosting into a piping bag fitted with a Wilton multi-opening tip. Starting from the top of the cake, pipe frosting in a downward motion for a grass skirt. 8 Place reserved blue frosting into a separate piping bag fitted with a 9mm star (8 point) nozzle. Pipe onto side of blue cake for waves. 9 Place flowers on skirt and jewellery on doll. Sprinkle biscuits around board.
