Here is Uta’s description of this Wonderful cake:

Inspiration from Magia 2000 Italy, designers Gianni Grossi & Mario Paglino. This dress is fun! I love it for its many different details such as the bow and the flowers in the hair, the embellishments at the bottom of the dress and the cape. I could immediately picture fabulous fantasy leaves that are made in a similar way as the cape. I picked up the main design elements of this dress and interpreted them in a quite free. I used the base colors black and creamy gold and the bow. The embellishments turn into a fantasy flower cascade on the cake and the cape into some fun greenery with little mandarins that I picked up from the flower cascade. I changed some of the colours, just because red, bluebell/darkblue are my favorites.

Here is Sadie’s description of this Wonderful cake:

My design was inspired by Magia 2000, the artistic duo formed by fashion designers, Mario Paglino & Gianni Grossi Me & my sister grew up with Barbie and over 40 years later my daughter and nieces love their Barbie’s too. In such a technologically lead world children spend so much of their childhood with faces planted onto electronic gadgets that watching them play with their Barbie’s being children, using their imaginations and communicating with each other is just so joyful. It brings back a simplicity of being a child and that’s what I wanted to reflect in my cake design. For me the beauty of this dress design is in the simplicity, it may not have all the frills & feathers or an abundance of clashing colours but I think it’s reflective of the uncomplicated life of a child and I could image my daughter very happily dressing up her Barbie in this outfit. I wanted to keep to a simpler traditional wedding cake shape which incorporated the lacing work from the bodice, against the black it pops and looks so real. The polka dots from the dress design are mirrored on the cake and brings a fun element to the cake giving it a modern twist. To finish the cake, I wanted something that in my mind incorporated both the dress design and represented what Barbie was to me, so a pale statement peony does exactly that, as a child I spent hours brushing and styling my Barbie’s hair and I think the peony reflects that, the same amount of styling, love & care was taken creating that as I would’ve of put in to styling my Barbie the only difference now is I am working with Sugar Paste.

My inspiration was inspired by designer Bill Greening. Barbie has always played a really important role in many girls’ lives and has evolved throughout the decades from and innocent young lady into many different characters. I have chosen this striking futuristic design as my inspiration as I love the black and silver contrasts, they are bold and adventurous, they seem to want to conquer the world. Barbie is an empowered woman in the 21st century. In order to carry out my creation I have used Satin Ice fondant and Saracino Pasta Model and for the silver pigment I have used the brand Sunflower.

This is the Barbie doll dress the cake was modeled after.

Here is Vincent’s description of this Wonderful cake:

The Barbie doll that I picked for this collaboration is the Lady of the Manor doll by Robert Best in 2006. It is part of the Silkstone Gold Label collection. The initial sketches caught my attention, and when I examined the doll, I found so many elements of it that I was inspired. I was drawn to the lace and floral embroidery work on the gown and sheer. The white colour contrasts against the warmer tones of brown, yellow and pink, and I designed some pearled tiers to highlight the sheen of the gown. The cake was made out of several tiers to give the design a dramatic look, and also to highlight the beauty of the floral work on the gown. Pearls were added to the lattice as the dress was, to add an element of aristocracy. The cake is finished off with a pink ribbon that was worn around the waist, to give the cake a subtle femininity and posh approach.
