This cute Lady Bug cake is a baby shower gift for a friend of mine. For the base I used 2 Wilton 10×2 round cake pans to make a two layer cake. I iced it with homemade white buttercream and then used the spray food color to add a light green tint to the top of the cake. I wrote the name and added the border. I then piped the little ladybugs on Wilton brand bulbs covering the pilars and on the cake. The top cake was prepared in the same fashion. I made the lady bug using one half of the Wilton sports ball pan for the body and a small pampered chef bowl for the head. i connected the two parts together with icing and piped the spots using wilton glittery black gel. I then used Wilton premade black buttercream to pipe the additional black areas. I then added the pink. The ladybug cake was on its own board so i placed that board on the top cake and used the wilton grass tip to pipe grass around the bottom of the large ladybug and the also around the little pilar ladybugs. As a final touch I added a small orange flower to the grass next to the large ladybug.
