Where Is It?

By CHARLES FERRUZZA

If you can’t have a real Barbie birthday cake, damn it, would you be willing to accept a cake baked and frosted with a Barbie-style doll (one of those cheap 11-and-a-half inch fashion dolls found at discount shops and craft stores)? Hey, if the cake is good and the candles don’t melt the doll’s limp Dynel hair, who cares?

This window display won’t win any awards for creativity, but that not-really-Barbie cake is a sexy confectionary siren, luring unsuspecting patrons into the shop to buy chewy cookies, thickly iced brownies and pineapple sweet rolls.
