1st baby Shower Cake

This was made for my friend Brittney for her baby shower. Brittney is a FUN girl, who deserved a custom made cake and not a typical grocery store cake. I started this cake by using the Wilton's ball cake pan to make the prego belly. I then made the breast using Wilton's Large Cupcake pan. I cut the tops of the Cup cakes off and placed them cut sides together. I laid out my ball as the tummy and put my cupcakes where I thought the breast would go. I did apply some icing to the bottom of both to act as glue to hold down the cake so it would not slide off of the cake board.

I then iced the cake with some icing. I made my fondant using Marshmallows, Crisco, and confectioners’ sugar. I kneaded it like dough. I took out a portion of it and colored it black with Wilton's coloring. I kneaded it and added more black coloring until I was satisfied with the shade of black I had.

I took another portion of the white fondant and colored it a beige color to make it look like nude skin. I kneaded until I was satisfied with the shade of beige I had. I used Wilton's Brown color. I rolled the beige out into 2 joining circles. I laid them over the breast and then used scissors to cut off excess fondant. I then rolled out my white fondant making a sheet of white fondant that I laid over the pregnant belly and part of the breast. I used scissors to trim the fondant the shape I wanted it. Then made the bottom of the dress kind of ripple like it would if it came off of a big belly. Last I rolled out the black fondant. Made the ruffle like to line the top of the dress, where it meets the beige nude skin. I cut it using a template I made of cardboard and a knife. I used some icing over the breast where I was going to place the black lace and put the trimming on. I finally made a bow with the remaining black fondant and the part of the bow that hangs down. I used icing to "glue it" down to the cake.

And that's it! Cake is done!
