Barbie herself wears a pink ruffled bodice above the cake-skirt, with blonde hair in a high updo. The cake skirt is a rinse-and-repeat surface — frost it, display it, wash it off, frost it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Celebration Cake concept sits in an interesting category of Barbie play-line: the doll as activity prop, where the toy is less about the doll's narrative and more about what the child does with the accessory. Mattel produced a number of these activity-focused releases through the late nineties — Bubble Fairy used a spin mechanism for bubble-blowing; Celebration Cake used edible supplies for decorating. The frosting is well past its best-before date and should be considered a display element at this point, but the mechanism itself — the wipe-clean cake surface — holds up as a play concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mattel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indonesia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22902\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelody Likes box condition grade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent — \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/MelodyLikes-Doll-Box-Condition-Guide_05303af8-20b2-4137-8091-87f3c51d9668.png?v=1773150063\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eView our box condition guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mattel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47701371453630,"sku":"BARBIE-1999-CELEBRAT-DOLL0001","price":150.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4504\/6718\/files\/1999-barbie-celebration-cake-doll-nrfb-front.jpg?v=1782213639","url":"https:\/\/melodylikes.com\/products\/1999-barbie-celebration-cake-doll-nrfb","provider":"Melody Likes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
