Vanilla cake with pink vanilla frosting. I made this cake for my sister's baby shower welcoming her soon-to-be-born daughter Sadie. She wanted a really girly cake with lots of flowers, but if anybody knows my sister, she's definitely NOT a girly person. Since middle school she's been obsessed with cars - racing, mechanics, everything and anything to do with cars. Hence I created this beautiful pink fondant cake with white gumpaste roses and baby booties, complete with tire tracks running around everything.

The tire tracks were embossed with a fondant embosser and painted with black food coloring. I made the roses and booties ahead of time with gumpaste, and the letters with royal icing on candy sticks. The tiers had to be transported in separate boxes (because I have a little passenger car) and assembled at the party. It was all worth it, though!
