Cake Friday: Welcome Little Cub

Baby Shower Cakes don't always have to be traditional designs such as bottles, blocks, rattles or blankets. For example, this weeks cake of the week, was a baby Simba theme shower. Using the invitation we made a centerpiece shower cake! 

First the cake is covered in ivory fondant.

Then the cake is doweled to support the top tier.

Next a fondant ribbion is cut and placed
around the cake .

Polka dots are cut in half and placed above
 the ribbon to mimic the invite boarder. 

To create a giraffe print similar to the invite
 random spot shapes are cut and placed close together .

By adding a touch of water edible glitter is added
to some of the spots  to add that special touch.

A brush is used to remove excess glitter.

Our decorator places the top tier on and dowels the cake through the center for support.

A hill is placed on and with a touch
of water the Fondant Simba is added.

A matching boarder is added to
the top tier for a cohesive look.

A small blue rope is put on the bottom
 of each tier to give a finished look.

Palm tree trunks are cut free handed and individual
 leaves are places on in a wavy pattern to give a 3D look.

To make coconuts our decorator rolls
 chocolate fondant.

Using liquid food coloring our decorator
adds the message 

To Finish off the cake "Welcome Little Cub"
is placed between tiers.
