Dolly Cake

I got this recipe from Kraft & made it for my daughters 2nd birthday, it's very simple to put together & the kid's will love to help you decorate it as my little one did. Cooking time is refrigeration time. You will also need a plastic doll or dolly varden spike for this.

• Ready In: 1 hr 20 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 500  g Philadelphia Cream Cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup caster sugar
• 1  teaspoon vanilla essence
• 2  teaspoons gelatin, dissolved in 1/4 cup boiling water
• 300  ml  cream, lightly whipped
• 12  jam rolls, rollettes
• 300  ml  cream, extra
•  marshmallows, optional to decorate (optional)
•  silver cachous, optional to decorate (optional)
•  candy sprinkles, optional to decorate (optional)

Directions

1. BEAT the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar, vanilla and gelatine mixture, beat for a further 2 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved. Stir through the whipped cream.
2. SPOON some of the mixture into the base of a foil and cling wrap lined 2L bowl/colander. Arrange the rollettes evenly in the bowl, and pour over the remaining mixture. Refrigerate for 1 hour, until set.
3. TURN the cake out onto a serving plate. Cover the cake completely with the extra whipped cream, tinted slightly with a food grade colouring of your choice. Use a palette knife to create a swirled effect.
4. ADD the doll into the top, and decorate with marshmallows, lollies and cachous.
