We don’t often do baby shower cakes, but when a super sweet mother of a former brides asks SUPER nicely we just can’t refuse. It also doesn’t hurt to let us make whatever we want and give us no budget at all; but we still kept it reasonable. We made this three tier pale pink buttercream covered cake. For the bottom tier we just molded some lace with a silicone mold and painted it with a pearl luster dust.
I blogged about Matt and Nikki’s awesome Converse cake a little over a year ago. They are such an awesome couple! When they called me about making a “baby reveal” cake, it broke my heart to say “we only make wedding cakes”. Matt was super sweet and willing to bend over backwards to get any cake from me so I had to do something. He agreed to a 9″ cake with NO decoration,
A few weeks ago I got a call from Rodney. His sister was having a baby and wanted a really fantastic cake for her baby shower. The decorations were all based off the Ahoy Baby Boy set of plates and decorations.
We wanted the cake to be a very bright color scheme, but still keep that baby blue motif. I printed out a few sheets of blue gingham on edible image sheets and used it as a border on each tier.

If you don’t already know, I am not personally a fan of using plastic on a cake. I’m not judging mind you, I do it. I just try to do it as little as possible. It sure would make life easier and you don’t break copyright, which not breaking the law is always a good thing. I’m referring to Elmo and such, not these booties of course. The first tiered cake I ever made was a cake in a similar style of this one.
It’s been a crazy week here at the bakery, but it’s been over a week since I blogged so I want to share a quick pic with all of you before I jump head first into this eyelet lace wedding cake I’m working on for this weekend.
This particular cake I did for a baby shower a few weeks ago and had a fun time making it. Nothing technically hard on this one,
