I did this Baby On Clouds Birthday Cake for my niece’s 1st birthday. She was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome and has been on oxygen her whole life (hence the oxygen tube in the nose).
The baby is a doctored white cake mix, I added an extra egg and a 4 serving box of pudding to give it a heavier texture (all tiers are doctored). It is iced with buttercream. The second tier is a single layer double chocolate cake, and the bottom tier is single layer french vanilla. The star are made out of a 50/50 mix of fondant and gumpaste. The tiara and wings were store bought. For the cupcakes I used just a hint of blue color mist.
The bottom tier is 12″, and the second tier is 8″. Both are 2″ deep. The baby was made from the Wilton Cuddly Teddy Bear pan. I used a Wilton design called “Crawling on a cloud” as the inspiration and just adjusted it to my needs.
