I found out today that the fluffy doll cake phenomenon isn't native to north america.
This photo was taken in a kinder-shop in the neighborhood. This one, while not using an actual Barbie doll, does bear striking similarity to her Barbie cousin across the pond. She may be made to resemble Maxima, new princess of the Netherlands, in her wedding gown. I wonder why it is that these dolls always have their arms in the air, as if an imaginary robber is saying: "Hands in the air! This is a stick up!" Or maybe its more like: "Come and get it! EAT ME!"
You know, in the interest of gender parity and big bucks, we really should devise a GI Joe cake. For 7 year old boys and drunken bachelorette parties. $$$$!!!!!
