Baby Trouble!

Baby Trouble! on Cake Central

This is the complete cake with the child carer theme. This cake won me a Gold Award at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England last November for Cake with a Novel Design category. I still have this cake in it's complete state as I haven't had the heart to take it apart! The cake underneath is made of fruit so it will be good for a few years yet although I doubt I'll eat it! It'll soon be time for this year's competition. I'm doing a character wedding cake and also novel design.

beautiful cake - the babies are so cute. What are the babies made of gumpaste or fondant and what colour did u use to get the skin colour as its not a pink nor a brown

I use Sugarflair paste colour, flesh/paprika. I use Regalice Professional Sugarpaste which I think is equivelant to your fondant...but don't quote me! I add CMC powder to this to make modelling paste (gumpaste?) Have you seen "How to Make a Face" in the forum under Cake Decorating and also How to...? It may explain a little more.

While this isn't the sort of cake I would make or usually like I am in awe of the detail how the viewers eye is constantly drawn from one adorable image to another without being overstimulated by the whole thing. It really is a very subtle and very sweet cake. You are incredibly talented!!
