I threw my friend a Noah's Ark shower. I bought the Fisher Price Little People Noah's Ark to decorate the cake. While I would love to take credit for the cake, it was the baker's creativity at my local cake shop that created this amazing dessert!

To make this baby shower cake, I iced an 8 and 6 inch stacked cake. I made the the baby booties with fondant. Then I added baby feet and daisies (also made with fondant) to the cake. I finished the cake off by lacing the baby booties with a light yellow ribbon.

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 :)

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.

This baby bathtub cake is made with red velvet cake and cream cheese frosting. Use a large Wilton 12X18 baking pan. Make one layer as a whole layer. You will then take the 12X18 pan and make 3 top layers by placing a 9X13 pan in the center and filling the 12X18 pan with the cake mix. This will give you the bowl of the tub. You will then line the bowl of the tub with some plastic wrap and fill with blue jello.

Once you have done this, you will cover the cake with cream cheese icing and then apply another coat of white icing to make the white tub. If you want an ivory tub you can just leave it as cream cheese. The faucet is made from rolled fondant and dyed. You can use the wilton stencil set to create the word soap on your fondant bar of soap. You can use a brand new washed baby cloth and travel size baby wash and shampoo as decorations. You can place bubbles on the cake usind any size round tip. And if you wish you can add some flair by placing small blue dots on some of the bubbles.

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.

This is a baby shower cake I created for a teddy bear themed shower for a girl. I wanted to make something special that included some of baby's things like the baby booties, blankee, pacifier bottle and most importantly the teddy bear! I baked 2 11x15 inch cakes (1 yellow and 1 chocolate) and then placed them next to one another and iced it as one giant sheet cake in pink buttercream with a buttercream ruffles on the sides.

Next I baked a cake in a teddy bear shaped pan and decorated it with a cake decorating tip (normally used for the look of grass on a cake) to create the look of fur on the bear. I then colored with food coloring some rolled fondant and rolled it out to design a blanket, cutting wavy edges with a paring knife. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter and another cake decorating tip, I was able to make imprints like embroidery on the blanket. Next I hand poured white chocolate (some of it colored pink) into baby themed molds to create the booties, pacifier, baby blocks, bottle and other accessories.

Everything is edible! The mom to be absolutely loved this cake and I loved making it for this joyous event.

This is a 3 tier baby shower cake made with fondant accent pieces. I used 10 inch, 8 inch and 6 inch cakes for the layers. The baby, birds and bassinet are all made out of fondant. I finished it off by piping ruffles and roses around the layers.

Prepare 2 cake mixes of your choice according to the manufacturers directions, and bake as directed in a buttered and floured 1/4 sheet cake pan (9"X13"). 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. Add yellow food coloring to ball of prepared fondant about the size of a tennis ball, and knead until the color is well blended. Roll out the fondant to about 1/8" thickness on a smooth surface dusted with powdered sugar to avoid sticking.

Use a Wilton fondant ribbon cutting tool to cut 18", 14", 12" and 2" strips of ribbon fromthe rolled fondant. Cut out a rectangular tag from the fondant using the Wilton fondant ribbon cutter and set aside to dry. Use the small end of a #6 or larger Wilton writing tip to cut small circles out of the fondant and set aside to dry. Place the 18" strip on the cake from side to side and slightly offset towards the top of the cake and drape down the sides. Place the 14" strip the cake from top to bottom overlapping the 18” strip, and slightly offset to the left of the cake and drape down the sides. Trim off any excess from the ends of the fondant ribbon. Use the 12" piece of fondant ribbon to form the loops of a bow, and use the 2" piece to cover the seam.

Place the finished bow on the intersection of the ribbons using a small amount of butter cream icing as glue. Arrange the small fondant circles on the cake as desired. Pipe a shell border around the bottom edge of the cake using a #32 Wilton star tip and piping bag filled with the white butter cream icing. Use white butter cream icing and a #2 Wilton writing tip to write the desired message on the fondant tag set aside earlier, and place the tag on the cake using a small amount of butter cream icing as glue.

This spring time flowers baby cake is made out of 10 inch, 8 inch and 6 inch cakes. I covered the cakes with marshmallow fondant and hand painted them with gel colors. I made the flowers and bumble bees out of fondant and attached it to the cake with thin wire. It was so fun to make!

This is a onesie shaped baby cake I made for my best friend's baby shower. I used a chocolate cake mix and covered it with buttercream frosting. I used candy melts to make the dinosaurs in front. I striped different colors in the front to make the onesie look realistic. The arms are cake sections that I cut from the bottom to shape the onesie.

I made this baby bootie cake out of 10 inch and 6 inch cakes. The bow, dots and plaque are all made out of fondant.

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.

The manager scene (baby jesus)is my baby shower cake.

I just rented the pan from a local cake decorating store and decorated it with icing!

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.
