I got inspired earlier this morning when I tried for the first time and then tasted the awesome BUTTER CREAM DREAM icing! So the inspiration took hold of me and I decided to go ahead and do a practice run of a pregnant belly cake (since I told my sister I would do one for a baby shower next month for a relative).
I thought I better make sure I can actually make this thing beforehand!
Anyway.....thanks to did5 and pinkpanther for their helpful suggestions and instructions....and also to ellyrae, whose photo I first noticed on here!
Just so you know....I just wanted to practice working with the fondant to make the dress. I wasn't in the mood to do any piping, but will definitely have fun with that next month when I do it for the baby shower.

you did a really nice job I love the shirt design and the flower is a nice touch.
I just used two 8 inch round pans. Instead of leveling them, I just rounded one pan off for the belly and cut out boobs from the other pan. I don't have the ball pan and this was JUST for practice today....so it worked for me. I may even just do it this way next month too.
WOW! That cake is so pretty. It looks like a flowy dress. Beautiful.
Thanks. It was actually fun to do too! Didn't take that long either. Maybe 20 minutes tops to do the fondant dress. And to think I was so nervous about whether or not I could do one. If it weren't for the people here, I probably wouldn't have even tried.
i made my first belly cake today too! it was fun, not as hard as i thought it would be!
