# Coffin Cakes Baking with Dead Barbie Dolls By Cowbag | Published 2008-10-04 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coffin-cakes-baking-with-dead-barbie-dolls References: [moblog.net](http://moblog.net/view/6708/) This is ridiculous and creepy. I mean, who spends hours and hours making a cake coffin to put a dead and mutilated Barbie doll into? This person, apparently. I don't want to be a killjoy but you can't even eat a Barbie, baked or not, so you might as well put rocks into the cake. For creativity and being messed up, though, this cake gets full marks. And you can also follow step-by-step instructions on how to make your own.
