a little baby sleeping in an open acorn?

the acorn is on a bed of leaves (on top of cake) or one big leaf (sheet cake cut to shape)

i just saw a bridal shower cake today with bright colors and a family tree. had lots of fondant cut out leaves. maybe cut out leaves would be cute.
hhmmm... browns aren't really too baby-ish are they? do they know the sex of the baby?

what if you used brown just as an accent? I made this cake brown and blue for a boy and it was a big hit. You could do a similar version with pink, orange, and brown.

Different fall colored leaves cut out of fondant. So you could use brown/orange/yellow/red. I would maybe put a little pink baby popping out of the top of the leaves. I picture this as a two tier with leaves "falling" down the sides, but you could really do this with any size or shape of cake.

How would you mix in the pink?

I was thinking of doing a stacked cake with white icing...orange & brown bow at the top, top layer lined in fondant teddy bears, bottom layer with orange & brown stripes...but it still doesn't look girly...

The acorn idea was cute...thanks...but I'm not that talented icon_sad.gificon_cry.gif

I was thinking about using leaves in the beginning and I may still do that. The shower is this coming Saturday...(fall colors in July!). What would you suggest making a pink baby with? I'm curious to see how pink will fit in with orange and brown.

The blue & brown cake that was posted was precious for a boy.

I did a baby shower cake in brown and pink, it was polka dots with a fondant bow. How about doing that, but with the orange and brown. Or instead of the polka dots, just do cut-out flowers like you would do polka dots.

maybe you can talk them down from the orange. i think the pink, white and brown would be sweet. thick and thin strips could be mixed with polka dots. yeah, fall colors in july is wierd.

Thanks for all of the great ideas. I went with the white cake, brown & orange bow, brown teddy bears, and orange & brown polka dots. It came out very cute!

I would post a picture, but I can't download them...the site says my file is too big. Guess I won't be able to post pictures. icon_cry.gif
