i need some help with a BABY SHOWER---this is the cake
http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=5C8205A1-802D-F658-0A1D050BCA881D44&fid=66AA0FBC-802D-F658-00E54ACD4AB59BB3

i'm going to lay this one one top of a half sheet (2-9x13's), like this

or this one--
http://cakecentral.com/modules.php?name=coppermine&file=displayimage&meta=search&search=baby%20buggy&cat=0&pos=33&search=baby%20buggy

here are the colors for the shower

bubble gum pink (brighter tone)
silver
white

i'm told to accent with the pink because of how bold it is & use more white....what the heck, does she want the whole cake white (buggy included)--oh & i she said they have pink plates & white plates--the white plates have silver polka dots on them--so i guess maybe i'll try to do that somewhere too.

someone please help me envision this...thanks





btw--don't wig out on me about the wilton pan, the client bought it & i'm doing the cake for free to help out with the shower.

okay, the first photo you have of the buggy on the half sheet..........see how they outlined everything in the yellow??? Why not do that stuff in the pink.....make the rest of the buggy white.....and then see on the second one how they made a sort of checkered effect on the buggy......what about doing something like that only instead of checks do polka dots and do them out of royal and when they're hard you can dust them with silver luster dust and then put them on the cake! Then it would tie in with the invitations.....might also be pretty to do royal outlines for the wheels and spokes and hit them with the silver luster dust too.

I envision the buggy pink, and the sheet cake white covered in silver polka dots. If she doesn't want the buggy the bubble gum pink, maybe you could do a lighter shade of the pink and outline the buggy in the darker pink?

How about white sheet cakes, accented with pink and silver, buggy done in checkers of pink white and silver? Just a thought.
