I made this teddy bear cake for a friend's baby shower. She decorated the baby's room with teddy bears so I thought this would make a fun centerpiece. I used wilton's cuddly teddy bear mold and used a yellow cake and a pound cake mix. Decorating it was the best part! The fur tip was really fun to use. The blanket is made out of fondant. I decorated it with different frosting design tips to make it look like a baby quilt. Everyone at the baby shower loved it.

The first tier is a mocha cake with baileys chocolate truffles filling. The second tier is butter pecan with swiss meringue buttercream frosting.

I made the buttons and quilting details with fondant. I found the cutest baby clothes and toys at a scrap booking store, so I made a clothes hanger out of wire and kabobs to hang them.

The mod mom baby shower cake is made from a 1/3 sheet cake. On top of the cake I placed another 6 inch round cake. I made the baby shoes, mom, stroller and baby out of fondant.

I took an 8 inch round and two 9 inch rounds and stacked them together. I made the wood out of fondant and gum paste. The rest are fondant (baby, duck, and towel).

This boy baby shower cake is made of vanilla pound cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents.

This spring chick is a chocolate cake, decorated with buttercream frosting, candy clay, and white chocolate.

The body is layered 8" round cakes carved to the shape needed for the body. The head is a "ball" cake pan by wilton.

The beak, feet and eyes are molded out of candy clay. The shell is molded out of white chocolate.

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.

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.

Prepare 2 cake mixes of your choice according to the manufacturers directions, and bake as directed in 2 buttered and floured 8” round cake pans. I like to use a product called “Pan Grease” available from CK Products instead of butter and flour. Cool the cakes until room temperature. Use white butter cream icing to cover the top and sides of the cake. Use pale yellow, blue and pink food coloring to prepare 3 separate batches of butter cream icing for decorating. Use a small writing tip and a pastry bag filled with yellow icing to outline the stars on the top and sides of the cake.

Tip: I like to use a cookie cutter to make light impressions of the stars in the icing to use as a piping guide. Switch to a small star tip and fill in the stars with yellow icing. Use a medium star tip and a pastry bag filled with pink icing to pipe a “shell” border around the top edge of the cake. Use a medium star tip and a pastry bag filled with blue icing to pipe a “shell” border around the bottom edge of the cake. Switch to a small writing tip and write the message on the cake in blue icing.

This cute green and pink cake was made out of a 6 inch and 10 in ch cake. I made the baby bassinet, baby, shoes, dots and plaque out of fondant. It was really fun to make and so cute!

Prepare 3 cake mixes of your choice according to the manufacturers directions, and bake as directed in 2 buttered and floured 12" round cake pans. I like to use a product called Pan Grease available from CK Products instead of butter and flour. Cool the cakes until room temperature. Stack the cakes using white butter cream icing between layers. Use white butter cream icing to cover the top and sides of the cake. This icing will act as the glue for the fondant to be placed next. Add varying amounts of pink food coloring to 3 separate balls of prepared fondant. You will need about 2 lbs of the lightest shade of pink to cover the whole cake. You will need to prepare a ball of fondant about the size of a tennis ball for the medium and darker shades of pink. Tip: Wilton sells pre-made fondant in most store that carry cake decorating products. Keep the prepared fondant in a zip top bag until ready to use so that it does not dry out. Roll out the lightest shade of pink fondant to about 1/8" thickness on a smooth surface dusted with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.

You will need the circle of fondant to be at least 20" in diameter to cover the cake. Drape the rolled fondant over a rolling pin and transfer to the previously iced cake. Use your hands or a smoothing tool to smooth out the fondant. Trim the excess fondant using a knife or pizza cutter. Roll out the medium and light pink fondant to about 1/8" thickness.

Use various sizes of round cookie cutters to cut circles from the fondant and immediately place on the covered cake using a small amount of water brushed on the back of the pieces as glue. Roll excess light and medium pink fondant into ropes. Twist the two ropes together and place around the bottom of the cake to act as a border. Use ribbon of choice to create a bow and place on top of the cake using a floral pick.

1. Mix and Bake the cake batter in an ovel pan as instructed on your recipe. ( I used French Vanilla Cake).

2. After the cake has had ample time to cool in the pan, Flip it onto a Cake Cardboard.

3. Then hollow out an oval whole in the center 1/2 way with a spoon (that will be the tub basin).

4. Make or buy the frosting and frost the entire cake white ( I used a a vanilla swiss buttercream, for a fluffy texture, but any can be used).

5. With the rest of the icing color it blue with food coloring and make wave like strokes in the center, mimicking water.

6. Take some white rolled fondant and create a faucet, and two handles ( you can decorate them any way you'ld like, I used Dragees or little gold balls to Identify Hot and Cold).

7. Roll some rolled fondant into balls to create bubbles and randomly place them around the tub.

8. Roll out a square piece of fondant and carve the word SOAP into it and place on the cardboard ( Lettered cookie cutters work great!).

9. Place a rubber ducky, or duckies in the water.

10. Next using a piping bag and a tip create a border around the entire bottom of the cake. And if you would like you can write a message ( In this case CONGRATS).

I took 3 oval cakes and stacked them together. I made the hood out of gum paste and let it sit over a bowl, it must dry overnight. You can get this in (you craft store). I made the baby out of fondant and blanket out of fondant. The ruffels are out of buttercream!

After putting your cakes together, freeze before icing. Layer the white icing and spead smooth with dampened spatula. Refreeze. Outline with toothpick then outline with icing. Do small stars in the large areas and flatten down icing with finger dipped in cornstarch for the animal faces and bodies. Pipe lots of stars on the sides of the cake. When everything is completed re-outline with dark icing.

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!

I chose this cake shape because I had all of the pans on hand. I used two 9" round pans for the top of the Rattle, three Little Debbie Coffee Cakes stacked on top of each other(one was cut in half and stacked on top of itself so the Rattle Handle was one and a half Debbie's long)and two 3" Round pans for the bottom of the Rattle handle.

My best tip was to make the cakes the day before and freeze them over night. This made frosting them so much easier the next day. Also one guest who didn't like chocolate appreciated the Little Debbie handle that was not made out of chocolate.

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.
