Welcome Baby Henley! Willow Nursery Bedding Cake (click photos to enlarge).
This is the second cake I've done in 2 weeks that was for a baby shower, for a baby boy, and that was to be designed to match the nursery bedding. This bedding is called "Willow" and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to make this cake. It's so easy to make a cake girly, but when it comes to doing a cake for boys, there's always a fine line between what works and what doesn't. I debated the bow on top, and in the end, thought it fit nicely. Buttercream icing on the outside with all fondant decor. Cake itself was WASC with two different fillings: vanilla bean buttercream and whipped caramel buttercream.

What a beautiful cake!! I am planning a baby shower for my sister-in-law and she has picked this same bedding for the nursery. I can only hope that I am able to find someone as talented as you for her cake.
ReplyDeleteI love this cake and would like to know what you used for thr deer shapes. If you used a cookie cutter, when did you get them?
ReplyDeleteThe deer were cut free hand with an exacto knife. I printed a photo, enlarged it, and traced the deer onto waxed paper. Then I used the waxed paper as my template on the fondant. (You can't use paper on fondant, it sticks.) Hope this helps! ~ Peggy
