Baby Carriage And Clothesline

My first baby themed cake for a colleague at work expecting a girl whose initial will be M. 8" square WASC and 6" square Choc Mud cake, both filled with real raspberry SMBC and iced in creamcheese buttercream, then covered with fondant. Carriage, clothes, plaque and butterflies were made from 50/50 gumpaste fondant mix. The clothes i hand cut, the carriage i used the wavy round pastry circles to make the body and wheels. The trees, clothes line, cloud and polka dots piped with RI. Inspired by Mellisa Diamond and many other clothesline cakes on here. There were a few bumps on the road but it turned out much better than expected in the end. I also used bubble straws as support for the first time in this, and it survived a bus and tube (subway) ride into work cradled in my arms, so they worked out well!
