Baby Cake

Well it all began by volunteering to make the baby cake to bring to my good friends baby shower. Its her second child and its a boy

this time (she already has her girl).

The cake itself is box mix. I used 2 8″round Wilton pans coated with shortening (no flour) and followed the instructions on each box, one is yellow and one is chocolate. Upon cooling the cakes I cut the top level prior to stacking them.

The filling between the layers is B.C. milk chocolate frosting. I then crumb coated in homemade buttercream frosting. The fondant is Satin Ice, the best ever fondant (Wiltons doesn’t taste so good) so I like to get it at a local cake shop.

Roll the fondant out and place over cake smoothly and whala! The stars and moons are cutouts of blue fondant. I wanted to do something for both my friend and her husband, a huge Mets fan,

that’s when I decided to make the baby under a Mets cap,and then added the teddy, train, and crayon to give it a baby feel (all made from fondant).

Now the interesting part is I found these markers that write on cake called gourmet writer pens. I love them! All the little details on the cake are drawn in the gourmet writer pens.

I am very proud of this cake and I’m glad to share it with you all.
