Whisking on Pens & Needles

It’s been harder and harder to find time to keep this blog updated … this SweetElement baby shower cake was made on May 22nd for my boss’s surprise baby shower here at work – and somehow it got to be June 9th before it got posted!  The expecting couple opted not to know what the sex of the baby was, thus the yellow & green ducky theme.

The bottom cake layer was a chocolate devil’s food cake filled with pastry cream and frosted in buttercream.  The top cake was my boss’s favorite – red velvet cake filled with cream cheese frosting and frosted in buttercream.  All decorations were fondant.

I’m happy to report that baby Trevor was born on June 2nd & mom and baby are comfortably back at home!

I just realized I never posted this cake I delivered right before the holiday madness started. I thought this was one of the cutest ideas – a jungle themed baby shower! This was a ton of fun to make – and even though they were completely edible, I was happy to hear that the animals all survived the day uneaten! They are just too cute to eat, don’t ya think?

I know I’ve been absent from here a *lot* lately … have been going through a rough patch and feel totally not myself. I’ll explain further in another post soon … promise.

It was nice to get to actually make another commissioned cake though – especially when I got to go to the event and hear all the comments and critiques and see people eat it! The design was a collaboration between the mommy-to-be and myself. She was debating between baby blocks and a sports themed cake … thus, the sports-themed baby block cake! As my first baby shower cake, I think it came out quite nicely.

The cake details are as follows:
