I was thrilled to get to make a cake this weekend for Baby Emily! My cousin, Chrissy, is due next month and this weekend she had a small shower for her friends. Last weekend, I made gumpaste flowers (thanks, Mom and Jen for your help!). I chose colors that match Emily's nursery. My first experiment with gumpaste did not go as planned, but these videos really helped!
Last night, I decorated the cake, using Wilton's Ivory coloring for the fondant. I used Leaf Green, Pink Rose and Brown for the polka dots. I absolutely love the little Wilton sugar pearls that I bought a while back. They give such a cute accent to the cake!
The baby booties were a last minute addition, but I really liked how they turned out!
As a side note, someone at the party has actually had a cake from Carlo's Bakery and said that she liked the Wilton fondant better than his! I thought that was interesting. I wonder how they make theirs...
Can't wait for Baby Emily to arrive!!!
