Making a Marie Antoinette Cupcake Display Doll
The last time I had a craft fair for my Mai Sweet Shop, I really wanted to make a Marie Antoinette Display doll to house my cupcake carousel and never found the time. A while back when I was browsing through cyberspace, I saw a gorgeous old porcelain display doll and I never forgot it. I went to A.C. Moore and bought a generic plastic doll. I plucked her legs off (sorry legs). Using a Dremel I cut the pelvic area off and drilled holes along the bottom edge of the torso.
Stay tuned to see how she turns out. I think she would make an excellent table centerpiece too - maybe you can make your own! Let me know if you do!

Hi Amarettogirl! I am so glad you like the Gossip Guide! Your 'faux cakes' are really great! I love this cupcake carosel, with the bird detail! It is so creative! I bet you could make these for weddings :o)
