It's All Girl!

I would have to say that this is my all time favorite babyshower cake which is kind of unusual in that anyone who knows me knows that I HATE to make sheetcakes. I think tiered cakes automatically have a "wow" factor that sheetcakes just can't seem to pull off so when someone wants a sheetcake, I usually try to stear them in a different direction but this one I was more than happy with.

Number 18

The young lady that wanted this one asked me to do something with swirls and flowers.
More cakes....The first is for a first birthday

The banana shaped cake is a smash cake. I thought this was a super cute idea to go with a monkey cake.






The other 3 cakes are for baby showers.




The theme for this little girls birthday was "Tea Party". The mom had her teddy bear and dolls dressed up and sitting at a small table with cups and saucers in front of them as if they were playing tea party. It was so sweet!





The teacup of course is the smash cake.

Wanted to share with you how the cake was cut out before it was covered in fondant. I baked the cake in a 12x18 inch sheetcake pan, drew a template of the scrub top on a large peice of drawing paper. Place it on top of the cake to be sure it will fit and cut around it. I did have to peice the outside tips of the sleeves with the left over peices of cake and cut a half circle at the top for the neckline. Pretty simple. The other items are all made with fondant.

Nurse Scrubs


This is the first time I've made this one. It's a birthday cake for a nurse. Lots of detail but very fun.
