Barbie Cake

So there's a Spaghetti dinner and Cake Auction coming up to support the youth in our church building for activities etc. So I signed up to make a cake and I thought I would make a cake that would catch the attention of a lot of the little girls. I'm planning on making a Fairy Barbie Cake.
So last night I thought I would make a test cake... oh boy. So the cake baked perfectly. It was taking the rounded top out of the bowl that was hard. It broke in two. (Remedy: peel ALL edges away from bowl before pulling cake out.) So I thought I would just fix it with frosting. The Problem: the mixer was too fast so powder went everywhere, then the frosting was too runny and I put it on anyway. When I finally added enough sugar to the second try cake crumbs were all in it so it was uneven. And then the decorating frosting was to runny and went all over the place and I couldn't find the right design. (Remedy: Make frosting right the first time, and wait till first frosting coat has dried to add decor.) So now I need to buy more powdered sugar and hopefully I will get it right for the auction.
Cause even though the cake tasted delicious, it's the image that counts when it comes to money...
