This cake was made for a woman how was having her 5th child. So I made the family tree and made each person look like each member of the family. All accents are fondant. The leaves are buttercream!  Baby shower cake submitted to cake gallery by: Marvin B. from Ballwin, Missouri  For this baby shower cake, the flowers, wheels, and handle are made out of royal icing. I used color flow to make the baby and the hubcaps. The icing on the cake is buttercream. Dawn D. from Cumming, Georgia  This baby plaque is made from a 6 inch fondant cut heart with another 6 inch by 1 inch border overlay. I used a little baby push mold to make the baby and highlighted with it luster dust to finish it off. This baby plaque is also being published in a cake decorating book written by Diane Shavkin. It is an exciting accomplishment for my baby project. Shawna G. from Surrey, BC Canda  I just rented the pan from a local cake decorating store and decorated it with icing!

 First I took 3, 1/2 sheet cakes and stacked them. Then I cut the shape of cake, I made the head with another round cake cut in half and stacked. Then I made the babies feet, and hands with fondant and covered the baby with different colored fondant. The whole cake took 4 hrs to make because of the shaping and detailing. But it was worth it, it came our great! Check out my site for more of my cakes at www.freewebs.com/ohhthatscute .

 I used an upside down pyrex bowl to bake the 'baby' inside of the wrap. I used another deep bowl to bake the stork. All fondant accents and I airbrushed the stork. His head is made out of rice crispie treats b/c cake wouldn't be strong enough to hold up the beak.

 I made this cake for my daughter's baby shower which was a tea party theme. The cake itself is a 10" round chocolate cake with 4 layers filled with a buttercream and cream cheese mixture and covered with fondant. I made the tea cup and saucer from gumpaste. I made the saucer by rolling out the gumpaste to 1/4" and after cutting it into a small saucer size circle I put a real saucer upside down and laid the gumpaste on the saucer to dry. For the tea cup used a very small glass bowl, coated it with shortening and formed gumpaste over it. After it dried I added a gumpaste handle decorated it with royal icing and painted the saucer and cup with luster dust. I then made the baby and teddy from gumpaste and pillow and after they dried put them in the cup and covered them with a gumpaste blankie.

 Here is a fall leaf baby cake I made for a baby shower. Some of the photos are a little detailed but basicly I use cookie cutters for the leaves on the acorn baby baby shower cake and hand stenciled the sides of the cake with a stencil bought at michael's. The fondant characters are hand molded and each one is uniquely different than one another easy to make just very time consuming but the end product is wonderful.

Make one two layer 10" Cake in your choice of flavor/Filling mine was Lemon w/lemon filling and make one two layer 6" cake in your choice of flavor/filling mine was Red Velvet w/buttercream filling. While cakes are baking Tint your fontant the color of choice mine was very little lemon yellow, I also tinted small amounts of Pink, Blue, Green, and very light peach. After you have baked and filled cakes cover with a crumb/light coat of buttercream for fondant to attach to, apply very thin bead of pipping gel at base of cakes for fontant to glue to. Roll Yellow fondant to between 1/8" and 1/16" and big enough to cover each cake individually and prepare for stacking the 6" cake on the 10" cake ( I off set the top tier so I would have room for the babies) After the stacking is completed start making the babies by getting 1 1/2 inch ball of the colors for the body area of the babies, make it into a pear shape use your ball tool to make indents for arms and legs. Use Peach to make heads and arms and legs shape as you would like(for long sleeves and legs like pajamas use same color as body) for eyes use very tiny white and attach with gumglue then use food writter in black to make pupils, for nose use tiny amount of the peach and roll and attach with the gumglue. Use the small veining tool to shape mouths or tiny amount of fondant in your choice of color and flatten and then another tiny ball and attach for the binky. For sleeping baby use a head, body and arm then cover with a 3x3" fondant blaket. Use gum-glue(1/4tsp gumpaste and 1tblspn water) to attach heads, arms,and legs. Let dry for a couple hours on wax paper. Use the large star cutter to cut out a 1/2 gumpaste-1/2 Fondant in yellow to make the stars and cut a 5" circle and then cut again to make the cresent shape to make the moon and allow to dry on wax paper for a couple of hours. I used the wilton alphabet cookie cutouts to make the BABY Lettering out of the pastel colors and attach with the gum glue. Make 1/4" to 1/2" Balls to Finish off the bottom and Middle also, attach with the gum glue so they don't roll off. Use 3 cookie sticks in various sizes and attach to the back of the stars and moon and allow to dry for about 1/2 hour.Finally attach the babys where you would like them, place sleeping baby on top of cake and insert stars and moon on top behind sleeping baby. All done!! I got the Idea out of the Wilton Fun with Fondant book and made it my own.

 I made a cake in a half ball pan (you can also use a pyrex bowl) to make the butt and covered it in white fondant. I put it on top of a 12 inch round cake because mine had to feed 40 people. I used some cake peices to form the legs and shaved them a bit to look rounded, them covered them in flesh colored fondant. I made the feet with rice krispy treats and covered them with a thick layer on fondant, then made some fondant toes. Use a knife to make the indentations (wrinkles) on the feet. I rolled out a peice of fondant for the blanket, decorated it and then laid it over the rump. I also frilled a peice of white fondant and put it where the leg meets the diaper to make the diaper look more realistic.

  I used 10, 8, 6 inch size pans. After layering and covering in buttercream, I covered each cake in fondant. These were then stacked and and decorated with scroll work and giant fondant bow. The pea pod and baby pea and vines were all made from fondant. It is important though that you make the pea and pod at least 24 hours in advance, giving it time to dry. Fun cake to make!

This was a French Vanilla Cake with raspberry fillling. Istarted with baking 2 cakes. One small 6" round cake and one medium 10" round cake. Once they were baked and cooled, I filled them with raspberry filling. I covered the head with flesh tone fondant and covered the body with white fondant. Using pink fondant I covered the bottom of the body. Next, I made hands, feet, a nose ears and eyes made of flesh tone and black fondant. I rolled out a thick peice of fondant for the arms and pasted them onto the cake. Tip: When pasting peices to a cake a good "glue" to use is powdered sugar with a drop or two of water. It becomes "pasty" like and since it's sugar, when it dries it hardens. I then pasted all the other peices (eyes, ears, nose and feet) onto the cake. Once everything was almost done, pasted the baby bottle onto the cake and place the hands on as well. The baby's left hand was placed ontop of the bottle. Tip: When placing the hand ontop of the bottle use the "glue" to paste it on. once it's on, place a wet cloth on the bottle until the "glue" drys and remove the cloth.

This Sweet Pea cake was made for a "Guess the Sex Party" I used 4 round cakes in different sizes and lots of Marshmallow fondant. I choose to make my own marshmallow fondant because its much easier to work with and taste is so much better then the bland store bought varities. I sculpted the baby in the pea pod topper out of fondant as well and then painted all the little details with a fine brush a Wilton food coloring gels. The cake turned out quite cute and it was also really yummy!!!

I used 10, 8, and 6 inch cakes.I made the baby, blanket, and bear 2 days in advance with a 50/50 mix of gumpaste and fondant that I made at home. The clothing, flowers, were made the same day I put the cake together that way they would be soft Enough to form to the cake itself. The clothing line and grass is made with icing. It was a hit at the shower and especially with the mom to be!

I made this cake for my old college roommate. She always called her baby "Lil' Pumpkin or Pumpkin JR." she was having her little boy in the fall around Thanksgiving so the pumpkin theme really worked. I made this cake all from scratch. I made a delicious pumpkin flavored cake with cream cheese icing covered with fondont. I shaped it into a life like baby coming out of a pumpkin. To do this I baked two bundt cakes and frosted them and stacked them on top of each other to shape the pumpkin. I cut off the bottom of the cake to make it level so it would stand nice. I used the piece I cut off to use as the top of the pumpkin on the babies head. I then baked two smaller cakes in small metal bowls, iced them and stacked them on top of each other to form the babies head. I refrigerated the cakes frosted to help firm up the icing so I could make it smooth. Then I covered it with fondont tinted to the color desired. I hand painted with food coloring to achieve the shading in the babies face and the pumpkin. I piped green frosting around the pumpkin to look like the pumpkin was sitting in grass. I made a sign from wood and burned with a wood burning kit "Now Harvesting Pumpkin Jr." to complete the pumpkin patch look. This cake turned out beautiful and was a huge hit!!! It stood over 16" tall.

I started with two 8" Round pans. Making a two layer cake. I baked a third to be carved and a small smooth bundt cake for the legs and feet. With the third cake I rounded out for the babies bottom, placing it on top of the icing two layer cake. With the bundt pan cake I cut out two legs and two feet placing them next to the babies bottom. With marshmallow fondant I formed the diaper. Just a flat round circle. Making sure not to make it too flat on the top end. With skin colored fondant I made tiny toes. Make sure that the color of the toes and legs match in color. With the left over fondant I colored them blue and green to match the decorations. I cut out a blue inch strip to go around the base of the cake and circles out of the blue and green to decorater the base. We had a blue and green baby shower for my oldest daughter. To match her baby furniture that she wanted. (Old fashion Winnie the Pooh.) The cake was vanilla and the icing is also vanilla. This was her second child and I wanted to do something special. She was always joking and I googled baby's and showers and came up with some crazy pictures. My other grandson was running around the table and my youngest daughter thought it would be funny if Preston ran into the cake. Well that was it, the perfect cake. It looked a hot mess when I was making it, my sister-in-law said, but my husband said that she had not seen anything yet.

Made a frosting and raspberry filling and assembled cake morning of shower. 3 days before shower I molded gumpaste to make the baby girl, lilies, and little white flowers. 2days before shower I painted the lilies. The night before the baby shower I made the yellow and orange roses with Royal icing. The morning of the shower I assembled the whole cake.

For the baby rump I made a round cake and trimmed the sides where the legs would go. I used the savings to form the legs and feet. Then I covered the legs with fondant before putting the diaper. Then I covered the feet and made the toes and decorated the diaper.
