I made this baby shower quilt cake for a co-worker/friend’s baby shower. The idea came from one of the older Wilton Yearbooks. I used a 12 x 16 Wilton cake pan and two(should have used 3)cake mixes. Using just two mixes caused it to be a little under the 2″ I wanted it to be.
I used tip 18 to fill in each ‘quilt square’. It’s best to have enough tips so you don’t have to keep changing out for each color. The hardest part of this cake for me was the fringe around the edges. Although it was easy to do, it’s very hard on the hands. You’re supposed to use candy molds and make rattles, bottles, etc and put that in the squares but since I’m not a candy maker, I did not do that.
This is a very fun cake to make and I’m looking forward to doing a different ‘baby cake’.
What a cute idea. I am new to cake decorating so this might be do-able for me. It will probably take me 12 hours to do it thouh lol. Thanks for the picture and instructions I just printed it all to use as a guide. You did a great job!
Thanks Kendra..I appreciate your comment.
