Teddy Bear Baby Shower Cake

This is one of my favorite recent cakes because it was done for a friend. Karen, a good family friend, contacted me and asked me to make a cake for her daughter's baby shower. Of course, everything had to go through Ms Debbie's Sugar Art, but we were thrilled to do the cake!

Karen sent me this photo of the bedspread they're using in the nursery:


How cute is that?! She left the cake design totally up to me and just asked that I use the bedspread as inspiration.

A few days before I made the cake, I created the teddy bear topper out of gum paste. I was so excited with how it turned out that I sent this photo to Karen from the bakery. It's poor quality because I took it on my non-smart, horribly annoying phone...but I think can see the bear pretty well.


And here's the finished cake!


Karen picked up the cake in Gainesville and drove it all the way to Tampa (without incident) for the baby shower. Thank you for letting me do the cake! I really enjoyed it!
