Rock Candy Baby Shower Cake - March 2014

I made this cake for my sister Valerie and her husband Josh for a baby shower in honor of their 2nd baby.  I also made some gluten free cupcakes (regular and mini) that matched the cake for some of her friends who have a gluten allergy.

My sister had seen the basic rock candy cake design in a picture.  She wanted to change the colors of the candy to go with their baby theme colors and wanted to add a personalized fondant topper to announce the baby's name.  I ended up making homemade rock candy for the cake.

Shabby Chic Baby Shower Pink Rose Cake and Teabag Cookies - September 2013

A friend asked me to make this pink rose cake and these teabag cookies for a shabby chic themed baby shower she was throwing for her sister.

 

Once I gave her the cookies she was going to put string through the hole with a tag attached to it to finish them.

My mom went to the shower and snapped a few pictures of the cookies (below) after my friend had added the strings and tags to them.  The tags had the baby's name and the due date written on them.

 

Below is a picture of the table with the cake and cookies on it (along with pretty decorations and other yummy goodies) that my mom took at the shower.

 

Amanda, from i am baker, created these rose cakes and makes them so beautifully.  She has lots of great variations, not to mention tons of other great things to check out on her site.  One of the best things is that she has a step by step tutorial AND a video tutorial for this technique, which is great to be able to actually see it being done.  This technique is easy but it has beautiful and elegant results!

Cake Assist: Baby Rattle Cake - May 2010

My mom was making a baby shower cake for someone, and she asked if I could help her out with part of it.  She was making a 3D baby rattle and asked if I could make the handle.  Then she would take it and attach it to the ball part of the rattle that she was making from cake.

Cake Assist: Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Cake... - January 2010

My mom was making a baby shower cake for someone, and she asked if I could help her by doing the hand painting on it.  The shower coordinated with some nursery rhyme plates and napkins, so my mom asked me to paint three of the scenes on some circles of fondant for her.  After I was finished she took the fondant circles home, placed them on the cakes she had baked and iced, and finished decorating around them.

 This was my part.  :)

This was the plate from the shower's theme.

This picture my mom took at the shower turned out a bit blurry, but it still shows how cute the cakes looked on the table.
