I am doing a ladybug themed cake for a baby shower. They want a 12x18 cake. All they want on the cake is Welcome Chloe Lynn and then ladybugs. Should I ice the cake white? or pink? I am thinking the pink really wouldn't go with the black/red but since it is a girl I thought it might look o.k. Also I was thinking of doing drop flowers as a border around the saying with vines and leaves. Would that look o.k.
Any other ideas for it, any help would be much appreciative!!
Thanks!!!
A vining border with mini lady bugs would be cute.
. . . I only have one question . . . who said ladybugs had to be black and red . . . (customer request??) . . . you "could" do what ever color you like . . . incorporating pastel baby colors or vibrant colors (depending on your design) . . .

. . . still recognizable as ladybugs . . . or if you are feeling adventurous you could make a "Anne Geddes" style ladybug with a baby's face . . .

The invitation is of a black and red ladybug and they want to stick to that theme. Though I think pink and white ladybugs would have been cute too!
Thanks for the help and suggestions, I really appreciate all of them!!
Here's a cake I did for a customer just to give you an idea of what those colors look like together. Your design would be different of course!

. . . can you post a copy of the invite . . . maybe we can make some recommendations based on that . . .
Here is a link to the cake that I made. Not great but might give you some ideas. I also made a separate ladybug for the birthday girl. I could pm you a picture if you like. I haven't figured out how to do a collage yet!

Also ment to say all of your cakes look great!! Christi yours is beautiful!! I hope someday to be able to make a tired cake! Seems like everyone around here wants sheet cakes.
What about a 3D ladybug?? Using a Pyrex bowl and a cupcake for the head, or the Wilton soccer ball pan...
Just a thought!
I love ladybugs on the yellow.
I also really like the idea of the light green background. Kind of infers grass, but putting grass might look a little less "little girl-ey". I love the idea of the drop flowers. Maybe thick letters spelling out the message with little drop flowers and ladybugs.
