Call Me Stupid, But I Need Help Decorating This Cake!!!
Decorating By tgirl22 Updated 22 Sep 2008 , 10:38pm by becky27
I am new to decorating, so I am not sure how to pull this off. But I am having a baby shower for my best friend 9/21, (she is due 10/26) and the theme is going to be Mommy's Lil' Pumpkin. Her mother-in-law found a picture of the "perfect cake" on Google, and doesn't even know where. There were no instructions with it, but I included a picture. Does anyone know how to do this??? Thanks in advance!!!!
It looks like they baked the pumpkin in a casserole dish with a rounded bottom, because it's flatter than the average glass mixing bowl.
Then they leveled the cake and part of the domed part that was cut off became the baby's face. It went on the layer cake and was decorated. Then, they cut part of the pumpkin to be the lid/hat, arranged it all, frosted it yellow (or covered with yellow fondant) and then piped fat orange lines with a round tip.
It kinda looks like the easter egg pan, cut off.
This almost looks like half of the Wilton stand up pumpkin pan with the top trimmed off and used for the hat. It is adorable. Good luck with it.
What a cute cake! I agree, Wilton makes a pumpkin pan. Hopefully you can find it and use it for this cake.
Don't forget to post pictures when your done!
I used half of the Wilton stand-up jack-o-latern pan and this is what I came up with! Not as good as the cake I was trying to follow, but not bad for a first timer! lol My 14 year old son helped...he made the baby, the sprinkles, and the borders...Thank you to everyone who offered suggestions/advice!
