I am looking to make a Onesie Cake for a baby shower. I have looked at pretty much all of the photos in the gallery of the Onesie Cakes. This may be a dumb question, but what do you make the snaps out of for those cakes? They all look so perfect and just like real snaps!
I haven't done one but would vote for fondant or gumpaste, painted with silver luster dust that has been mixed into vodka or everclear. Though I have to admit I could have sworn I read at least one photo description where the decorator admitted she used real snaps. If you are going to attend the party and cut the cake yourself you could surely go that route!
Yup, I read that too..
I wouldn't do that, though.. Only because most parties I attend have a few children there, and you never know when one of those little buggers would just run right up and put it in their mouth, when no one's looking.. heh
You could also use a round tip and imprint a perfect circle on the onesie, draw over it with your icing, then after it crusts paint it with the silver luster dust, as was mentioned earlier.
Good luck! I hope to see your finished cake. I just love those.
