Instructions

Step1Heat oven to 325°F. Grease 1 1/2-quart ovenproof bowl (7 1/2 inches across top) and two 8-inch round cake pans with shortening; coat with flour (do not use cooking spray).
-
Step2In large bowl, make cake batter as directed on boxes. (Both boxes of cake mix can be made at one time; do not increase beating time.) Pour 4 cups batter into 1 1/2-quart bowl, and divide remaining batter among 2 the two round cake pans (about 2 cups per pan).
-
Step3Bake cake pans 30 to 35 minutes and bowl 59 to 63 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans and bowl. Cool completely, about 2 hours. Cut off rounded tops of cakes to level.
-
Step4Spoon frosting into large bowl. Stir in food color until desired pink color. Place one 8-inch cake on serving plate; spread 1/3 cup frosting over top. Top with second 8-inch cake; spread with 1/3 cup frosting. Top with rounded bowl cake layer, cut side down. Trim side of cake if necessary to make a tapered "skirt."
-
Step5Spread thin layer of frosting over side and top of layered cake to seal in crumbs. Freeze cake 30 to 45 minutes to set frosting.
-
Step6Spread frosting over cake as desired. Wrap doll pick's hair with plastic wrap; insert into center of cake. Decorate with frosting, sprinkles and candy pearls as desired. Unwrap hair. Store cake loosely covered.
