We'll be using some buttercream icing and rolled fondant to make the dress, the covering. So you'll need about two pounds of rolled fondant to cover the whole cake. We'll be using a little bit of confectioners? sugar and some margarine or shortening for working with the rolled fondant. You'll need some paste colors for coloring the fondant and we'll also be doing a little decorating with a pastry bag. You'll need a disposable pastry bag, a coupling and few tips. A straight tip and a star tip are few good tips to be using. You'll need a little cookie cutter, a little flower cookie cutter for some decorations. Of course you need the doll to put in the cake.
