This Ladybug cake was for my daughter’s 2nd birthday. I shaped a 2 layer sheet cake to look like a “grassy knoll” with rolling hills.
I used a grass tip with different shades or green to make the grass. I used the Wilton small wonder pan to make the body of the ladybugs and half of the small wonder cakes cut shorter for the heads. I covered them with fondant and used black candles for the antennas.I also made fondant sunflowers to add some more color.
This is the first cake I made and it took 2 days to make.
This looks so good! I’m trying to figure out how to make a similar cake for my daughter’s 4th birthday. Did you put the ladybugs on the top first and then pipe the grass around them, or did you put them on after you did all the icing?
