Cute Homemade Baby Cake

I made this baby cake from the Wilton 2008 yearbook but I didn’t like the fondant ready to use icing and I didn’t have time to make it from scratch. It also seems like such a waste to make the arms completely out of fondant, knowing that no one will eat it!

I also wanted to make a more detailed face so I searched for baby clip art to get a few ideas and then came up with this.

The face and body are each made from 8″ rounds, a heart pan for the arms, and a mini cupcake for ears. Everything is covered with buttercream icing I made using my grandmother’s secret recipe. It tasted so yummy and my girlfriend loved it for her shower.

When I make this cake again I’d like to change the eyebrows, she looks like she’s ready to throw a temper tantrum!

Let’s all eat more cake!
