This baby blocks cake was made out of 10 inch cakes, 1-8inch layer cake and 6 inch cakes. I stacked them on top of each other and decorated it with fondant accents. I also made smaller matching block cakes to spell out the baby's name. The decorations on the smaller cakes are also made out of fondant.

**I placed the cakes on a doiley on a tray. And there you have a fun baby shower cake!!!

I used 2X6 inch cake pans and cookie cutters to make the impressions for the cake designs and made the Booties and Flowers with fondant icing and laced the booties with sheer ribbon. The top cake is Chocolate, 2nd cake is Vanilla, and third cake is Strawberry. I iced them with butter cream dream frosting.

I used the 6 X 2 inch square pans and tiered the cakes. Each block is about 6 X 4 1/2 in size. I used cookie cutters to make the impressions to make the letters and designs.Each cake is a different flavor. One is chocolate, one carrot cake, one is white and one strawberry. I used Cream Cheese Icing to frost the blocks.

Here's the icing recipe I used:
Cream Cheese Icing: Makes about 2 1/2 cups.
1-package ( 8 ounces ) cream cheese,softened
1-tablespoon milk
1-teaspoon vanilla
4-cups powdered sugar

Beat cream cheese, milk and vanilla in large bowl on low speed, until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar,1-cup at a time,until smooth and of spreading consistency. For the Booties: You use three large marshmallows. Cut one in half and stack it on one of the other marshmallows. You use your icing to stick the two and a half marshmallows together. Using your # 16 or # 18 open star tip, you begin at the bottom making in-line shells and go all around the two bottom marshmallows, working your way upwards. When you get to the half marshmallow you work your way around it in the same manner. On the top of the lower marshmallow you work your shells in a up and down motion...this gives the illusion of a crocheted look as well :o)

The block cakes is made out of 3 -6" cakes iced in buttercream. Support the 3rd block on top with dowel rods and put your own accents on with fondant.

I made 10" layer, 8" layer, and 6" layer. It is covered in fondant and all decor was made with fondant using molds for candy.

After baking your favorite pound cake recipe cut the pound cake into 4 blocks. Decorate with homemade buttercream frosting.Using a cake circle on you bottom 10in round frosted so the cake circle will stay put. Place the decorated blocks ,stacking them carefully. The booties are made out of large marshmellows 2 for the bottem one for the top all attached together by toothpicks. Make bow and attach with decorative straight pin. Added hand made ladybugs and fake flowers to match new baby's room theme.
