I was asked by a coworker to make a 'baby bump cake' and ive seen a few pictures on here, but if there is any, where would i find a tutorial on here on how to prepare one? Or if anyone has suggestions. Ive never made this type of cake before and really want to try it. I have a soccer ball pan i can use for the belly and i am going to have to make small cakes for the boobs and carve them bc i couldnt find a baking dish round and small enough. Thanks for your help.

oh sorry! you want a pregnant belly, not baby rump... I'll see what else I can find...

Hi Sweet... Sounds like you are off to a good start. I made my baby bump cake using the Pyrex bowls. The smallest one I had was about 40 years old...so it was perfect. I've read Wilton pans, jumbo cupcake/muffin pans for the boobs. My bump was only my 3rd cake...so don't judge too heavily if you pull the picture.

I looked for a tutorial here but couldn't really find what I needed. I'm a visual type person and relied on You Tube. If you search baby bump CAKE. Don't forget that cake or you will see real belly shots!

Good Luck

not sure if this link will work but this is what I followed

and if you google "pregnant belly cake" and look at image results -- all kinds of ideas for the dress design

Thanks so much everyone....i think i have a good start--now, just to actually pull it off!! Thanks! If it looks good i will post some pics

My baby bump cake was one of the first cakes that I made. I used the soccer ball pan for the belly. I couldn't get it to bake all the way through, even with a flower nail in it. So i ended up just filling it enough to get the perfect round part. Under that, I put two stacked 8in rounds. And carved those to meet the round part from the soccer cake.

For the breasts, i used the wilton wonder mold pan. I only made 2, then ended up with one messing up, so I had to bake another one. So i would bake 3or 4, just in case.

After that, it was just a matter of covering it with fondant and decorating it to match the baby shower decor.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
