Baby shower cake submitted to cake gallery by: Kristin P. from Taunton, Massachusetts  1. Lay out all pans and spray with non- stick coating. 2. Mix and bake cakes as directed by a recipe. In this case I used Lemon Cake with Lemon curd.But any kind will do. I baked 2, 10" layers, and 2, 8" layers. 3. Allow ample time to cool. Meanwhile I cut a name plaque, loops for the bow, and butterflies out of fondant, and set them aside to dry. Then either make or use prepared frosting to lightly coat the cake. 4. Cut dowel rods and evenly space them in the center of the bottom layers, for support. 5. Roll out Fondant evenly, on a very clean surface, large enough to cover the cake. For the bottom layer I embossed a butterfly pattern before I applied it to the cake. 6. Use frosting to apply the bow, name plaque and butterflies to the cake. Place ribbon along the bottom of the cake. And your done :)
 Baby shower cake submitted to cake gallery by: Dawn D. from Cumming, Georgia  This baby shower cake is made out of a 6 inch fondant cut circle with another 6inch with a 1 inch border overlay. The bunny rabbit is a fondant cut out that I laid on top of the cake and highlighted with luster dust. Dawn D. from Cumming, Georgia  I have a new cake I just did last week-end for a baby shower. Take a look at the baby elephant cake it is so cute. It was made from the teddy bear cake pan (ears cut off) made fondant/gum paste ears and it was covered in fondant the base was made from 1-8" and 2-10" rounds cut on an angle and then decorated with buttercream and fondant accents.

 First we cooked a sheet cake and decorated it like a pond with a log for the frog to sit on. For the frog we used the large Wilton bear pan. We cut the crown out of cake and used rods to hold it into place. Buttercream icing was used on the entire cake.

Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Dawn D. from Cumming, Georgia  I made this winnie the pooh baby shower cake with 3 tiers. I used 10 inch, 8 inch and 6 inch cake pans to make the layers. s It was decorated with a white chocolate winnie the pooh that was painted with dusts and gel color. I topped it off with a fondant bow.
Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Julie M. from Rochester, New York  I started with a 1/2 sheet single-layer rectangle cake. I iced the sides in white buttercream and did a light coat of icing on top, since it will be covered. Then I piped a small top and bottom border with light green icing, using a small round tip. Then, for the pond scene on top, I used my small spatula to spread light blue/white striped buttercream pond. It was in the shape of a kidney bean/oval. Then I used my grass tip to pipe green grass surrounding the pond to the edges of the cake. There are drop flowers in the grass. The fun of this cake are the buttercream duckies in the pond- they are made by piping a base body with tip 10 (large round). Pipe a round ball which tapers off into a point. Then, using a smaller round tip (like #4) pipe a little round ball on top for the head, and little tapering wings on each side of the body. Then, using orange buttercream, and small leaf tip (#352s), pipe a little beak. And lastly little dot blue eeys. I made varying size duckies to look like mommies with ducklings! I pipe each duck on a piece of wax paper, on a flower nail, and then pop it into the freezer. It hardens enough so you can take it off the wax paper with fingers or scissors to place on the pond. Lastly there are little lily pads and flowers. The pads are made on a flower nail with petal tip, making a round shape. Same thing as the duckies- freeze and then position. The flowers are with white buttercream, with a star tip, pull out in a circle to make a spikey flower. Then pipe a little yellow star in the center. This is one of my favorite cake designs to make for baby showers!
Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Mary S. from Sanford, Florida  Use half of the wilton duck pan for the duck body. Bake a smaller cake to use as the platform for the duck. Use mini muffins to form the bubbles. Assemble the cakes together, frost, and smooth fondant onto cake. Use a gumpaste tool to press fondant into crevices. Use clear piping gel as glue where it is needed (it comes in a small tub, and is very thick and quick to dry). Using good quality paint brushes- dab brush into luster dusts to create a satin finish in different colors over the cake. When the duck's darker luster gets onto the bubble's while applying the lusters, use a wet clean brush and paper towel to remove the darker color. With a fine paint brush, use extract and luster to paint the eye onto the duck. I used a small imprinted rolling pin on the fondant for the neck tie and for the base cake. The rolling pin leaves a design on the fondant for a more decorative look. The fondant for this cake can be prepared by kneading shortening and extract (flavor of your choosing) into it until it is soft like a play dough or clay. Keep your work area and rolling pins coated with confectioner's sugar so that it does not stick. Keep your hands coated with shortening when kneading the fondant. I colored the fondant with a food colored gel in a very pale color. You do not need to use a lot of coloring if you are going to paint the cake with different colored lusters. The fondant can be placed entirely over the cake or in different sections to create this cake. Cut off the excess fondant and smooth onto the cake. Use the gumpaste tool gently to help create the details and shapes in the cake. A basic buttercream recipe is best for fondant covered cakes.   Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Amy S. from Rockford,MI  This is a butter flavored cake with Buttercream Icing, and Gumpaste & Fondant characters Detailed Instructions and how-to-tips: Cake instructions - follow box instructions. Buttercream Icing - Wilton buttercream. Characters - combined 2/3 gumpaste with 1/3 colored fondant. Mix by pulling & twisting until totally mixed. Form to desired shapes. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Monica S. from Suprise,Arizona  Detailed Instructions and how-to-tips: I made this cake for a friend. I used a 10" round cake and a double layer 8" round cake for the waterfall. The cake was covered with rolled fondant. The ducks with made with gumpaste,leaves and flowers were too. I used piping gel for the water. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Shirley T. from Medford,OR  This is a 11 x 15 inch sheet cake fondant lamb covered in buttercream stars. Cake is covered with whip cream icing and has a whip cream and strawberry filling. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Julie M. from Rochester,NY  This is actually a cake I did for my nephew's first birthday, but it would be so cute as a shower cake too! The elephants, monkeys, snakes, and lions are 3-d figure piping with a toothpick inside for added support. The water is piping gel tinted blue. They all loved it! P.S. The watermark on the photo is my website, as I do cakes as a part time home-based business. I love doing it! Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Georganne B. from Fountain,Colorado  This was such a fun cake to make! I was so excited to be able to make a baby shower cake for one of my good friends. It was a complete surprise and everyone loved it. The lady hosting the shower had decorated her entire house with the same design scheme. It was so festive and fun! I baked the cake according to the box directions. I made 1- 8 inch, and 1- 6 inch round cake from each box, using 2 boxes total. Instead of pouring the dulce de leche syrup all over the cakes, I put just a small amount on the cakes. I then used the rest of the syrup and mixed it with butter, powdered sugar, and powdered milk for a delicious filling. The cute little chick on top was molded out of gumpaste to match the baby shower invitations. The cakes were covered in chocolate marshmallow fondant and decorated with marshmallow fondant. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Hayley H. from Victoria, British Columbia,Canada  The baby shower theme was woodland critters and I was in charge of the cake! I wanted to make something really unique for my friend. I began with a six balloon cake pan, since hedgehogs and balloons are quite similar in shape. I then filled half with chocolate cake batter and the other with vanilla so there would be something for everyone to enjoy. After removing from the oven and allowing them to cool, I got my icing bag and filled one with chocolate icing the other with vanilla icing (dyed brown) and began to make the spikes. For the eyes and nose you could use candies like m&ms but I was running short on time and simply chose to use icing. They were a hit at the shower, and it was nice to see a different sort of shower cake. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by:  Pillow: 2-10 inch square cakes stacked and carved into pillow shape. Filled and iced in butter cream and covered in fondant.
I put dowels in the pillow and decorated the elephant on it's own board and then set it on the pillow after it was done. It helps to have the cakes cold when handleing them. The cake was made to match the Shower decorations which were blue elephants. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by:  Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Rochelle W. from Colorado Springs, Colorado  The theme was mommy and baby birds, Detailed Instructions and how-to-tips: The top tier of the cake is a gumpaste bird house put together with royal icing used as glue. It is hollow, sitting on a small 4" plate. the dowel going through the two lower tiers is PVC, and is fondant painted to look like a tree trunk. the next tier is an 8" cake, iced w/ buttercream and covered with baby pink fondant and hand painted stripes to give it that modern feel that Becca wanted. The birdies and lettering was done with gumpaste. The bottom tier is also fondant, with painted branches and gumpaste flowers. This was a very different design for a baby shower, but it was a whimsical way to enjoy a party!   Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by:  I baked a 10"-8"-6" yellow cake and then iced with buttercream icing that I tinted green. All flowers are made of fondant. Some are made by using cutters, others I hand made and some I shape by putting on an upside down shot glass. This gives the stand up effect. The lady bugs and bees were made of fondant and I painted them with food coloring paste. The antenna's on the lady bugs are made with a very thin floral wire that I painted with food paste as well. The butterflies are picks. The bow is fondant that I shaped by using a paper towel roll covered with parchment paper.   Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by:  Baked base cake on a large metal round serving tray. Main cake in a bundt pan. Place Main cake in middle of base, you can decorate base any way, but I liked the green sprinkle grass look (or could use grenn coconut)with yogurt dipped pretzels for a fence. The main part I used animal crackers up against the straws. For the top of the merry go round, use straws for poles and cut a slit in a roughly 9 inch round paper, overlap paper slightly to create pointed top. I used icing on the straws to help secure the top on. I liked the star confetti candy to give it that fun look. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Shawndra M. from Goodyear, BC Canada  A friend decorated her baby's room with the Forest Friends theme from Burlington. I made a 6 inch round cake and a 10 in square cake and stacked them. I iced the cake in light blue buttercream icing. I cut out circles out of fondant to match the theme on the Forest Friends decor. I hand sculpted the Bear, Doe, Owl and Fox to match the forest friends decor and put them on the cake. I made the bow out of fondant and added light green border.   Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Nicole and Kyle G. from Kitchener,Ontario Canada  This is a three tier chocolate cake with chocolate buttercream icing, covered in fondant icing. We used three different sized pans for this cake: a 10", 8" and a 6" round pan. We iced each cake and covered them with fondant. We used gel food colouring to colour the fondant for the top and bottom layer. We stacked the cakes on top of each other by putting a small dot of icing before stacking each one. We cut the clouds out of fondant by hand and molded the bunnies and sheep by hand from gum paste. We used toothpicks to secure the ears and legs to the bunnies and sheep. We used floral wire to secure the fence and sheep to the top tier of the cake. We used a grass piping tip to pipe grass around the second tier. We cut the tree, apples and fences by hand out of fondant and gum paste. We used small letter cookie cutters to cut the letters and secured them to the cake board using water. We wrapped green ribbon around the top and bottom tiers and secured them with pins. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Patricia M. from Lodi, California   This was a baby shower cake for a baby boy. The theme of the shower was "King of the Jungle". The cake matched the shower decorations. It was in a shape of a present. The colors used were baby blue, brown, light brown, orange, golden yellow, pastel green, and forest green, and a dark grey. The circles were made of fondant and shaped from a circle fondant cutter. The baby animals were handmade of fondant. The eyes and mouth were drawn using an edible black marker. The ears and nails of the elephant were painted using edible pink paint. The giraffe's antlers were made using flower stamens and mini fondant balls at the ends. The big baby blue bow was made of gumpaste.  Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Kendra C. from Manhattan, MT  This is just my second cake that I have decorated for someone using fondant and it was so much fun to see it come together. I had a friend ask me to make it for a baby shower after she had tried a cake that I had made for an anniversary. The cake is a chocolate cake made from scratch that is very moist and is complimented well by the Bavarian cream filling. I have used coffee, chocolate, and vanilla fillings before but in this cake I just used chocolate and vanilla as more people like these flavors. The icing I used is Crisco based with a sweet, but creamy, texture. The fondant is also a homemade recipe using marshmallows. I have had many people tell me that they hate fondant but love this one as is it not hard and gross tasting, but sweet and goes well with the frosting. I filled each layer with the Bavarian cream and froze the cake so it would be easier to frost and also keeps it very moist. After the cake is firm I frost it and s mooth it with a flat spatula dipped in warm water. The John Deere tractor is made using rice crispy treats and then I molded the fondant (I color the fondant as I make it) around the pieces and with royal frosting, attached the tires. It was easier than I expected but took longer, than I thought it would, since I had to let the fondant dry in order to assemble the pieces. The animals are made from just fondant molded like you would play dough. They were very fun to see come together. This was the first time I had done animals with fondant. Cutting the grass and fencing went fast with a pizza cutter, and was easy to stick on the frosting while it stayed in place once you stuck it on. This cake was fun and exceeded my expectations. Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Amanda J. from Little Rock, AR  The bottom cake is strawberry, made with fresh strawberries. I used 2 - 9" x 13" glass baking dishes to make the half sheet of strawberry. I made the strawberry icing using fresh strawberries, clear vanilla extract, powdered sugar, shortening, and red food coloring. I had to make all the icing myself so that it would hold up in the 98 degree weather. I did the borders and writing in white and added a few roses for decoration. I used 2 tier columns and cut them down to size for the 2 plates holding the other two cakes. The bee hive is a lemon cake with fresh lemon added to the mix. I used a 6" round metal cake pan, a metal sauce pan that just happened to be slightly domed looking at the bottom and a cup cake to form the bee hive. I had to trim around the cakes with a serrated knife to help with the bee hive look when icing the cake. I made lemon icing (the same way I made the strawberry icing, using lemon instead of strawberry) to ice the bee hive. I purchased the sugar bumble bees off of Ebay. The other cake, that the Baby Winnie the Pooh and Tigger topper (purchased from a local Wal-Mart bakery) is sitting on is a chocolate chocolate chip cake. The bottom layer was made using a 8" round cake pan and the top layer was made using a 6" round cake pan. I made some green icing to ice the cake with. I used a slightly darker green for the grass and such on the sides of the cake. I made purple and pink roses and mums, slightly verigated, for decoration. I did the borders slightly verigated with purple icing.  Baby shower cake submitted to animal cakes gallery by: Celeste R. from San Jose, CA  The bottom tier is zebra striped. I cut the stripes and and put them on the cake. She asked for the top to be only brown. I hand made all the animals. They were animals from her baby shower invitation. Hope you enjoy. |
