Our doll's kransekake cake is made with Sculpey.

Kransekage (Danish) or kransekake (Norwegian) is a traditional Danish and Norwegian confection, often eaten on special occasions in Scandinavia. In English, the name means wreath cake. In Norway it is alternatively referred to as a tower cake and often prepared for Constitution Day celebrations, Christmas, weddings, and baptisms. In Denmark it is typically eaten as part of New Year celebrations, while a variation of the cake, is traditionally served at weddings and baptisms.
To make this special Christmas desert, you will need to roll out many long snake-like shapes using the oven-bake clay and curl these into individual 'wreaths.' Next, stack each one on top of the other until they resemble a cone or 'tree.' (see pictures below) Bake the stacked desert in the oven according to the directions on the package. After the baking the layers should stick together. Now you are ready to paint your doll's kransekake...

I used acrylic paints and puff paints to transform our doll's wreath cake into something a bit more colorful. There are no rules about how to paint/decorate a kransekake but it seems as though most people stick with coloring them green and applying a white, pink or red icing.
I first painted this festive cake with warm tanish colors and then applied green to the cracks. Then I used white and green puff paints to act as the 'icing' on my cake.
