Each cupcake is topped with a handmade gumpaste water lily and lily pad.

The bear was made with the 3D Bear Pan then placed on a 2-layer 14" round marble cake. Nursery items made with a gumpaste cutter surround the botton tier.

I also created coordinating cupcakes shaped into a bat and ball.

Here is another rendition of the "Teddy Bear in a Crib" cake. I created a baby which coordinated with the invitations by hand molding fondant. The hood and bed are yellow cake and the blanket is made with fondant.

The client emailed me the party invitations and asked me to come up with a baby shower cake and this is the result. I made the lion "topper" with fondant and the trees are lollipop sticks wrapped in fondant. The tree leaves are made with gumpaste.

Pregnant Belly Cake

This is my first attempt at doing a pregnant belly cake...next time i'll make her a little further along!

This cake is a 2-layer 1/4 sheet cake for the belly, iced in buttercream then I used a cookie cutter to cut out thin slices of cake for the feet and placed on the side of the cake. Then I covered the entire belly with fondant. The breasts are a 6" round cake with 1/2 of the round ball pan on top, iced in buttercream and covered with fondant.

Baby Converse

I made the pink Converse shoes out of gumpaste. The cake and cake board are covered in fondant then airbrushed with a pink sheen edible dust. The base of the cake is wrapped in a pretty plaid ribbon. The cake and shoe can also be made in baby blue for a boy or any other color requested.

This cake must have weighted 50 lbs!!!
