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).

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).

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.

Use a good sized oval pan. Make two cakes stacked together.

Dig out the middle to make room for the water. I used whipped icing, spread around to make the waves. Color with blue spray coloring. Cover the tub with white icing. The facuet and taps were actually shower curtain hooks that I found in the bed and bath section of Wal-Mart.

Rubber duckies give it a finishing touch.

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.
