Barnyard Theme Girl Baby Shower Cake

I had a lot of fun making this girl baby shower cake for my best friend’s baby shower.

Girl Baby Shower Cake Directions

I formed all the little farm animals and the scarecrow out of the decorator preferred fondant about three days in advance so they would have time to dry a little.
For the barn I made rice cereal treats in an eight inch square pan and let them set up overnight.
Then, I cut the barn shape out of paper and placed it on top of them and cut it out. It worked very nicely.
Next, I rolled out the pink fondant and cut the pieces out and attached them with butter cream icing.
The roof tiles I just freehand cut out and placed them on. Then trimmed them off with scissors.
The white trim is just piped icing.
After the barn was placed on the cakes (two nine by thirteens), I started placing the animals and scarecrow.
I placed the pumpkin by the scarecrow because he kept trying to lean.
I freehand cut the sign on the barn out of fondant and painted the lettering on using clear vanilla and gel food coloring.
I also painted on the stripes and mouth of the scarecrow.
