Boy Bear Baby Shower Cake

Have you all seen enough of Christmas/winter stuff yet? Well, I'll give you a short break today, but I've got more winter cakes to post later so deal with it! *wink*

Here's a cute cake we did for a shower for a baby boy:


They wanted the bottom tier to be quilted, and the top tier to have polka dots that matched the party colors - lime green, dark blue, and brown. Then, they wanted a cute teddy bear sitting on top. We decided to add the baby blanket to give the cake an extra pop of color!


Awe, what a sweet little bear...He looks like he's perfect for hugging, don't you think?


And then we decorated cookie party favors to match the cake! Here are a couple of close-ups of the cookies:



So cute. I'm definitely a fan of the blues, green, and brown color combination!

Pink & Brown Cowgirl Cake

This week, one of my favorite cakes was one we created for a 4-year-old's birthday. I actually used to work with her Mommy when I was still at the University of Florida so it was fun to create a cake for someone I know.

The bottom tier was iced in pink buttercream. The paisley pattern was hand-piped with white and black buttercream, and the rope border was made out of chocolate fondant.

The top tier was iced in white buttercream. The stars, "leather" tassles, and rope garland were all made out of fondant.

And the boot on top was hand-crafted out of gum paste and fondant!

Happy Birthday, Gracie!
