Prepare the cake mix according to package instructions.

Preheat the oven to the temperature specified on the cake mix box.

Grease and flour the cake pans.

Pour the cake batter into the prepared pans and bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 25-30 minutes.

Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Once cooled, level the tops of the cakes if necessary.

Stack the cakes with frosting in between each layer to create height.

Insert the Barbie doll into the center of the stacked cakes, ensuring it is secure.

Cover the entire cake with a layer of frosting to create a smooth surface.

Roll out the fondant and drape it over the cake, smoothing it down.

Decorate the cake with sprinkles and edible glitter to enhance the appearance.

Use additional fondant to create decorative elements like flowers or a dress for the Barbie.

Place the cake on a cake board for serving and presentation.
