Sweet Indulgences Cakes

This fabulous cake is comprised of layers of vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.  I covered the cake using pre-colored Satin Ice fondant.  I have to say that I LOVE the pre-colored fondant.  It saved about 30 minutes of time because I didn’t have to add drops of color one at a time.  I would recommend this product to anyone.  The booties, nameplate, pacifier and bows were all handmade using gumpaste.

This cake was made for one of my dearest friends for her baby shower.  It’s a chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream frosting.  I covered the cake with vanilla Satin Ice fondant and decorated with my handmade gumpaste accents.  I also dusted the cake with pearl luster dust and the waves with midnight navy luster dust.

This was a fun cake to make.  Everything you see was made from scratch.  I like to make the figures 2-3 days before the cake is due to let them have optimal drying time.  I always use Satin Ice fondant as well as gumpaste.
