"Bondage Barbie"--no, no, Birthday Cake Barbie!

### A less bondage-y way to attach the candle
would be good, and speaking of those candles, we had a fiery wardrobe malfunction one year, which led to an accidental mastectomy:

### Emo Barbie
was the result of our daughter's Goth-and-Emo phase, in fourth grade. She did a makeover on this lass:

#### Dear God help me remember I must never again 
consent to baking another Barbie cake. And home-made ice cream. Two things I cannot even eat. (Food allergies. *For my life still ahead, pity me.*)

But, but, I have RUNNING WATER in my house, and a dishwasher as well. Count my blessings, I do!

I hate baking, lost all my love of cooking, but will do it for God and country. 

Or love. 

Or something like that.

#### So many of my peers have no mothers left. 
We are grandmas now and our moms have passed on. Mine is still doing well past age 80, and far be it from me to say no if sister Lori says, "You should make her a Barbie cake again this year."

We are never too old for dolls, toys, and Barbie cakes.

But we do get too old to have our mothers with us.

*Here she is with last year's cake*

#### In the end, this year's cake didn't look all that bad. 
We'll see if it tastes better than it looks. It fell while baking. Barbie appears to be kneeling. Or to be a midget.
### Home-made ice cream will fix everything.

NEWS FLASH
Since the writing of this post, I now have two granddaughters, and they are now requesting Doll Cakes for their birthdays. "Moana" and Nella the Princess warrior have been added to the Barbie Cake Hall of Fame. And flame.

### #MotherLove, second only to #GrandmaLove, 
drives me to do the dreaded baking again.

Thank you!! Mom liked it, anyway, though my sister and daughter were honest enough to say the cake was not my best--it didn't bake right. *sigh*![](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNk2NBEaRcGdQfwx9m44mR4ooESjcke2XHXk3pr5U9RsD/image.png)

You are brave and fearless to attempt such a thing! I love all the flowers on the cake. And I think it's fine that Barbie turned out to be a midget. She deserves it.
