Baby Einstein Character Smash Cake
This was the matching smash cake for the caterpillar cake-this was my first attempt at sculpting with fondant. The characters were SO MUCH work, they took at least an hour each. Everyone thought I was nuts, but I really enjoyed doing it. The characters came out bigger than I had originally wanted, but everyone oohed and ahhed over it-that is before my son got ahold of it! :) Thanks all for the suggestions!

Baby Einstein Caterpillar Cake
This was my sons 1st birthday cake-and my very first 3-D cake! I have always just made sheet cakes, but I wanted this one to be special for my baby. Thanks to the suggestions on this site, it came out so great! I used b/c frosting and Wilton dome cake pans for the body, black jellybeans and pink nilla wafers for the face, and red pipe cleaners and red craft puff balls for the antennae. I also made a matching smash cake. Thank you all for all your help!
