Princess Birthday Cake- before

I'm planning to do the after picture tomorrow after she cools and I get her all frosted. I was thinking about just cutting the legs off of one of Amelia's 'garage sale' barbies, gross right?! Don't worry this is a real cake decorating doll. (no lower body just a post). I really couldn't figure out how to get the barbie legs removed... probably a blessing for all who are going to eat the cake.
