She designed her American Girl Doll herself.

I had no idea you can now buy custom made American Girl Dolls.

A lot has changed since I got my Samantha doll back in 4th grade.

She was so excited to see the finished product!

1.) Prepare cake per instructions on the box

2.) You will be baking two 9 inch cake pans

3.) Add the 6 Hershey bars to a food processor.
