Take a piece of real ribbon that is the width of the gap you want between your first and second strips. I used a piece that was 3/8 wide. Pin one end of the ribbon to the back of the cake, above the seam of your fondant strip. Wind the ribbon all the way around your cake, resting it on top of the fondant strip.f you want to add stripes to the to of the top of the cake, repeat the steps above but use the top of the cake as a guide for your first strip. It is safer to gently coil your strip up and rest it on top of the tier as you unwind it to glue it into place.
Arrange the fondant around the cake to create folds and pleats in the skirt of the dress, if desired. Trim any excess fondant from around the base of the cake by cutting it off with the knife. Place the cake on a plate. Insert the Barbie doll's legs into the middle of the cake until its feet touch the plate.The only part of the doll that is visible over the cake is its top half, from the waist up. Roll out the trimmings from the fondant to create a 4-inch wide circle.Mold this around the upper half of the Barbie doll to create the top of the dress. Fill a piping bag with Â½ can of frosting and attach a star tip to the end.emove the cake from the top to the base along the hole to create the spot for the Barbie doll's legs. Cut a 2-inch wide circle in the middle of the rolled fondant using the knife. Drape the fondant over the cake, aligning the holes in the middle.
