It's a boy!!!










This was a cake for my wife's friend who was having a boy. I saw this cake in a picture online and tried it for myself. The moon, stars, and clouds are all cut from fondant. I cut the clouds freehand by drawing them on the fondant first and cutting around the outline. I left the outline on them to give the cake more of a cartoon type look. Again, I used royal icing around the bottom of the tiers, simply because I didn't know any better. The topper was store bought. It fit the cake perfectly! The original cake had a gumpaste infant sleeping under a blanket. At the time, it was way over my head so the topper was my idea.
