Homemade Baby Shower Cake
This baby shower cake is the cake I made for my sister's baby shower. I had found an Anne Geddes Ladybug cake off of a different website and it gave me the idea for this one.
I used a full sheet cake for the bottom of the cake and then to make the baby I took a bread pan and a small bowl and divided a cake mix into the two and baked them. I let them cool and then carved it into a baby shape. The cake is decorated with buttercream icing.
The butterfly wings are made out of rice paper which I got at a local cake store, and I used edible markers to draw the designs I wanted on it and then luster dust to color in the wings. I used fondant to make the face and the hands. I just rolled flesh colored fondant over an Anne Geddes doll's face and let it dry and then I used the edible markers to draw the eyelashes and color in the mouth a little bit.
The only thing on this cake that was not edible were the antennas. They were just pipe cleaners from the craft section of a store.
