Konnor's Baby Shower Cake

I had fun making this cake. I made this for our cousin's Baby Shower!

The top Frog tier is rice crispy treats, covered in fondant. The legs are twizzlers with frosting and fondant, and the feet are more rice crispy treats.

The middle tier is yellow cake with a banana nut filling, which was banana cream pudding, chopped nuts and chopped bananas.

The bottom tier is a Snickerdoodle cake. I saw a post for the blog the recipe was on from a friend of mine's Facebook Page. Thank you Hilary Conrad and Natalie Edwards.

I had a few problems with the fondant, but I am getting better. :)

Next I want to try to make my own Marshmallow fondant.

Sugar Paper

This was my first time using Wilton's sugar paper. I just used cheap grocery store frosting and really didn't take my time frosting this cake, but I really just wanted to use the sugar paper. I didn't really like using on the frosting, I didn't think it was that great. I will try again using it on fondant.

Rose's Welcome Home Cake

The white fondant is the Wilton's and the Black fondant is Duff. I liked the Duff's better, it just seamed easier to use. It was the second one I did also though, and I haven't used fondant in over 5 years. So practice will make better. So, I look forward to making more cakes so I can perfect my use of fondant.

The stripes and flowers were made with Wilton's sugar paper. I am loving that stuff. It is so much fun. It is pretty pricey though.

I made a yellow cake with, banana pudding filling with chopped nuts and chopped bananas in the filing.
