Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease four pudding basins thoroughly.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until very pale and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then gently fold in the self-raising flour and vanilla essence.
Divide the batter between the basins and bake until the centers are springy to the touch.
Let the cakes cool completely before removing them from the basins.
Stack two cakes on top of each other, using a thin layer of icing to stick them together.
Use a sharp knife to lightly trim the sides so the dress shape is smooth and continuous, then carve a small hole in the center of the top cake for the doll.
Roll out the light blue icing, press silver balls and snowflake sprinkles into it, and drape it over the cake to create natural fabric folds.
Place the Elsa doll into the center, add bodice details with dark blue and pink icing, and hide the waist join with white piping icing and flowers.

Notes

For the best results, ensure the cakes are chilled in the refrigerator for at least one hour before trimming to ensure a clean, smooth shape. When working with the icing, keep your hands slightly dusted with cornstarch to prevent sticking and ensure the ‘fabric’ folds of the dress look professional and clean.
