Homemade Pregnant Belly Baby Shower Cake

This Pregnant Belly Baby Shower Cake is my very first cake decorating experience. I bought a Pyrex glass bowl to make the belly, two Pyrex glass custard bowls to make the breasts, and made one sheet cake to place them on.

I baked the cakes the night before decorating (I used two box mixes). I leveled out the sheet cake after cooling on a wire rack. I put the sheet cake, belly and breasts in the fridge over night. The next day, I frosted all cakes with Buttercream frosting and arranged the cakes how I wanted them on-top of the sheetcake (the sheetcake was placed on a cardboard cake board).

I rolled out three 8 oz boxes of pre-made white fondant, enough to cover the entire cake and have extra overhang. I trimmed the fondant with a pizza cutter around the cake board and left extra hanging over the bottom for the bottom of the dress. I dyed the extra fondant brown with liquid food coloring and cut into strips with a knife for the dress trim and bow. I used a pink food coloring spray on the bottom of the dress and purchased the satin flowers for extra decoration.
