Baby Crib Cake

Today I want to share with you a cake I made a couple of weeks ago. A baby crib cake. I made this for a friend as a gift when she had a new baby boy.

The reason I did not post this so far is because I was so disappointed with myself on not being able to do my best on this cake. I even took progress pictures on how to do the crib but did not post the tutorial.
I wanted to do a lot of work on the baby blanket with little square cut out and animals, duckies........
I just did not have the time!!!



So finally; though I have the progress pictures,  I decided I would make a tutorial the next time I make a similar cake but when I am happy with my work.
This was my Chocolate Chiffon Cake, layered with Vanilla Buttercream and frosted with Chocolate Ganache below my homemade fondant.
 Here is the baby.

I did put the name of the baby on the pillow so it wasn't so plain.
 I do hope I get an opportunity to do this cake again.
Thanks for stopping by.

    1. The cake crib is made of gum paste. You can also make it with chocolate using the flooding method. Modelling Chocolate also works. I prefer to use gum paste because it dries in the current summer heat and humidity.
      I hope that helps.
