I am making a cake and cupcakes for a baby shower. I found really cute candy molds with a transporation theme (same as the nursery) that I was going to use on the cupcakes.

However, now she changed her mind and wants a cake with the baby peeking out from a blanket.

Can I do a blanket out of MMF and incorporate the candies into the MMF, so it looks like a quilt? Or should I mold with mmf?

And if I make the baby & blanket out of MMF do I need to put something under it to keep the cake from sinking?

TIA!!!

I don't think you need anything under the MMF to keep it from sinking. I'd use the MMF in the molds instead of the candy.

good diea tiffysma! mayve you could kind of roll the shapes into the blanket.

You could also put the molds around the side of the cake, or at the edge of the cake. If she wants the cake and cupcakes you could still do the candy for the cupcakees.

They didn't ask for cakes and cupcakes... No, it was much worse than that. I asked what kind of cake they wanted and she said, "Well the mom-to-be likes chocolate cake, but not everyone does, so maybe you could do marble or something." BORING!!!!

And I think if you are pregnant and you want chocolate cake, I am not going to be the one to mix yellow cake in it!

So my solution was cupcakes, so I didn't have to do two cakes.

Now... Those really cute cake boards that I always see. Can you buy those, or does everyone make them? And which board do you start off with? Plain, waxed, foiled?
