What You Need

1/4

cup boiling water

tsp. KNOX Unflavored Gelatine

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

1/2

cup sugar

tsp. vanilla

tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided

pkg. (3 oz.) ladyfingers, split

Doll pick

Few drops red food coloring

Tbsp. red or pink sprinkles

Assorted candies

Make It

STIR boiling water into dry gelatine until completely dissolved; set aside. Beat cream cheese in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until creamy. Gradually add gelatine mixture, beating on low speed until well blended. Add sugar and vanilla; beat 2 min. Gently stir in 1-1/2 cups of the whipped topping. Spoon one third of the cream cheese mixture into plastic wrap-lined 1-1/2-qt. bowl. Stand one half of the ladyfingers, cut-sides in, around side of bowl. Spoon remaining cream cheese mixture into bowl. Arrange remaining ladyfingers, cut-sides down, evenly over cream cheese mixture.

REFRIGERATE 1 hour or until set.

UNMOLD onto serving plate; remove and discard plastic wrap. Insert doll pick in top of cake. Tint remaining whipped topping with food coloring; spread over gelatine mold to resemble doll's dress. Decorate with sprinkles and assorted candies.

Made mine with cake mix. Swirled the skirt and added stars to make a layered look. We got these for our sweet 16. Made my mother her first for her 80th. Purple dress with some white trim and big bow in back. Put the doll's hair up and painted the it pearl white. It was a great hit!

this recipe looks really good, and i think i will make the dress in a bundt pan, and because i don't like jello i think i will use cake mix.

I made this "cake" for my 8 year old grandaughter for a girls night out/sleepover. It turned out beautifully! I did her "dress" in white and used a green frosting spray and then used green sparkle sugar to dress it up. It was really easy! I will definitely make this again!!

I made this cake as Cinderella, I used the baby Cinderella doll, tinted the frosting blue and used little white circle-shaped candies in the dress. It came out beautiful and everyone thought it was so hard, butit was actually very easy!

Once my daughter saw the picture, she had to have this cake ! I was intimidated but it really was easy to make and turned out so nicely !! I used strawberry Cool Whip so I didn't need to tint the frosting. I also bought edible flowers from our cake supply store to decorate with. Very pretty and tasted great too :o)
