Babt Shower Cake
6 - 8" cakes stacked on each other. 1 dowel rod down the middle of cake. I iced between layers with chocolate buttercream. Then I iced top of cake with vanilla buttercream tinted in a light brown and swirled a knife around the top and took a tooth pick dipped in brown color and swirled it around a little bit for contrast. I used a large star tip and went top to bottom and then added green weeds around the trunk. I made 2 blue birds out of fondant. the mom bird I put edible candy white balls around her neck for a necklace. The dad bird I made a bow tie for him. The nest is yellow buttercream with the grass tip. Egg is fondant.

Sailor Moon
The cake is iced in buttercream icing and decorated with fondant. I printed an image of Sailor Moon. I made 3 copies. I cut it out and cut the colors out. Then I cut the pieces out of fondant and arranged it on the cake. I messed up her hands, so I put the plastic balloons there. She was also a little long, but the fondant had dryed hard so her foot didn"t bend. My twin nieces loved it.

13x9 cake. Buttercream icing. Water is blue tinted gel. Hair tip used for grass. Fondant fish and blanket. Footprints were store bought. Fishing pole is small dowel rod cut to length and scored around dowel to make it look like a reed pole. Then I colored it with brown Wilton paste. Tied embroidery floss, 1 strand, around end of dowel then molded fish around other end of floss. It looked like a fish was caught while baby sleeping. Baby is just a Wilton plastic decoration. Sign was made out of gum paste mixed with brown color. I wrote in black paste with a small paint brush Welcome Baby.

Barbie Cake
I lost the plastic Barbie that goes on the cake, so I made one with candy melts. It turned out ok. I thought if anyone else had lost the Barbie to their pan this would be handy info. I just melted the candy and put it in an icing bag and filled the head, arms, and body. I carefully got it out, I broke the first one I did in lots of pieces, the 2nd try I made it thicker and only broke the bodice. You couldn't tell because the icing covered it up. The hair was piped on with a round tip,it didn't turn out as well as I wanted. Next time I will try doing the hair with candy melts too.
