Planes, Trains and Automobiles Baby Shower Cake

Made this baby shower cake to match the new mom's nursery. I'm happy it didn't look too "babyish." :) This cake is 9" and 6" tiers of golden vanilla cake with French vanilla creme filling, buttercream frosting and marshmallow fondant accents, hand shaped/cut. The airplane on top is rice krispy treat covered with mmf. Stayed up too late to perfect it but it was a crowd pleaser which always makes it worth it. :)

Baby Bird Baby Shower Cake

Spring was my inspiration for this baby shower cake . . . Ok, so it's still winter and only 40 degrees at the warmest part of the day, but we're out of the single digits and a girl can dream, right?!! ;)

This is a chocolate cake (6" tier and 9" bottom tier) with chocolate mousse filling and buttercream frosting. All the decorations are marshmallow fondant, the birds, nest, and branches are hand formed and I used a Wilton fondant mold for the leaves and flowers. I was really happy with how it all came together!
