My daughter-in-law's baby shower took place recently and I made this cake for her in the colors of the future baby girl's nursery. To personalize it I printed out a baby photo and taped it to a wooden skewer to insert into the cake.
It is a Wilton Pan called Baby Buggy and I used a Wilton pastry bag and a #16 or 17 tip to form the individual stars to cover the cake. They recommend slicing enough off the top of the cake while it is in the pan so that it will sit flat on your serving platter. I did put a skim coat of white frosting (delicious!) on the cake first. Then using a large Wilton pastry bag and a star tip, I began the process of covering the cake with the appropriate colored stars.
I also make chocolate cupcakes and yellow cupcakes. Unfortunately, the cute baby design on the cupcake wrappers pretty much disappeared during the baking process so I set them in a fresh paper before serving. The cupcake stand is also from Wilton and many of their products are sold at ACMoore and Michael's. Don't forget your 40% off coupon!
The basket holds the favors, baby buggy sugar cookies, frosted with Royal Icing. And the frame contains a collage of early photos of the
future Mom and Dad.
