2 x 440g packets moist chocolate

chocolate buttons Toy doll 1 ½ cups mini white

marshmallows Assorted coloured sprinkles and

FROSTING 300g unsalted butter, chopped,

at room temperature 3 cups icing sugar mixture Pink food colouring gel

1 Grease a Wilton Wonder Mold pan set (12-cup capacity). Place the pan on an oven tray. 2 Prepare the cake mixes, one at a time, according to packet directions. Spoon both mixes into the prepared pan. Smooth over top. Reserve icing sachets for another use. 3 Cook in a moderately slow oven (160°C) for about 1 hour 25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into centre of the cake comes out clean. Stand for 30 minutes. Turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool. 4 To make frosting, beat butter in a large bowl of an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add sugar, ½ cup at a time, beating until smooth. Tint pink with food colouring gel. 5 Trim top of cake to sit flat. Cut and scoop out centre of cake, leaving a 5cm-thick shell. Fill with chocolate buttons. Top with a cake board. Gently invert. Remove the legs from the doll and insert into top of the cake. 6 Spread ½ cup frosting over cake to cover. Spoon remaining frosting into a piping bag fitted with a Wilton 2D Drop Flower Piping Tip. 7 Use a skewer to mark out a section at the front of cake for a petticoat. Cut marshmallows in half. Dip cut-side into sprinkles. Starting at base of cake, position for petticoat as pictured. Pipe pink rosettes over remaining cake to cover. Decorate with pearls.
