This cake was made for my niece Lilly’s First birthday. The “leaf” was the cake for the guest and the Ladybug was her smash cake. It was all made from scratch and hand carved/crafted. The Leaf was baked in a Wilton Half Sheet size pan, and the LadyBug in a Pampered Chef batter bowl (LOVE my pc). The Leaf’s “vein” is green sugar, the head of the Ladybug is a chocolate covered mini-donut iced w/ black icing, and the “sheen” on the ladybug is red sugar. I had never before made a cake like this and all in all it was very easy to make since it is mostly just icing the shapes. I did make a leaf “template” with parchment paper to make it a bit easier on me. All you need to bake great homemade cakes is patience and a great cake/candy supply store. Needless to say the bug was a big hit with her and lasted all of 5mins.
