Baby Shower Cake
I went to a baby shower last weekend, and I made a cake for the shower as well. (I hope my friend doesn't mind me posting her picture on here, but I thought it was such a cute shot!) I'm also intrigued by the fact that the cake is iced with a bright pink frosting and the flowers were sort of purple, but in the pictures they look pink and the cake looks orange. Her baby shower colors were orange and magenta, however, so I guess that works out. Anyhow, I have more pictures that I took at home with natural lighting where the colors may be more accurate, but I have to get those off my camera still. These are actual shots from the baby shower of people eating (and enjoying the cake).
The cake had two layers of red velvet cake, two layers of yellow cake (colored orange), two filling layers of cream cheese frosting, and one filling layer of chocolate butter cream, and then the whole cake was iced in regular butter cream with chocolate fondant decorations. I wasn't sure how all the flavors would work together...but, now I can say Soooo delicious!
And if you had trouble telling...there were flowers, hearts, bows, and little baby carriages around the cake. I'm thinking that in the future I should just buy a baby carriage cookie cutter because free handing them in fondant was not easy at all, and after three I about had it. (And yes, I just stuck a vase in the middle of the cake to hold the flowers. Worked well. And some people didn't realize it was a cake until it was cut. That was sort of fun.)
