PURPLE RAIN, PURPLE RAIN
Um, so this happened. Possibly the silliest dolly cake ever. This once blonde Malibu Ken doll was transformed with some creative sharpie-ing, doll hair that looks suspiciously like a jheri curl, and way too much purple. I found purple clinging to the underside of my fingernails days later and cannot for the love of God get Raspberry Beret out of my head. The kind you find in a second hand store...Gah!! Anyway, the birthday boy is a big Prince fan to say the least, so I created this Purple Rain/Artist mash up with the famous trench and flouncy shirt combo (made with a little coconut flake) and finished with silver dusted white chocolate punk studs in the shape of "the symbol." Enjoy!

This is awesome!
Thanks! It was really really fun to make. Just super ridiculous.
The artist formerly known as Malibu Ken. :)
Excellent use of coconut for the tunic. Well done indeed.

Best,

totally amazing.
what is it about Prince?! We were totally just talking about doing interpretations of his songs yesterday. haha. must be a sign!
There is indeed something magical about that little man. What kind of interpretations were you guys going to work on? I would love to see a raspberry beret or purple rain cocktail (maybe with a little creme de violet?). Anyway, keep me posted on any of your prince-spirations (sorry, I know, so bad yet I had too).
I love prince-spirations! haha. never apologize for perfect plays on words.
We actually are graphic designers so we were talking about doing interpretations of his lyrics with graphics!
But, i would LOVE to do some food inspirations and I bet they would be SO perfect for a party!- i love your ideas of the cocktails.
just discovered your blog - after this post, i am hooked.
Hi, I was surfing the web looking for ideas on making a prince cake & this is by far the best! I am making it for my dear friend for her B-day in February
I was wondering where you purchased the candy studs. They really add an extra something. You can email me @ LiberianGirl4MJJ@yahoo.com
Thanks a lot.
