Baby in A Pea Pod Cake PDF Print E-mail
Isn't this sweet? It was decorated by Rachel Franklin of Lexington, KY.
 
I base iced two 10" round cakes with pink buttercream icing. I used white buttercream for the border, the bottom border is a shell, the top border is an alternating shell.  Both borders were done with tip #21. I piped green buttercream vines with tip #4, and leaves tip #352.  I also piped 3 green peas on the bottom border with tip #14.

For the pea pod I used Wilton's ready-to-use fondant that I dyed green.  Then I rolled it out until it was about 1/4 inch think.  I cut out a leaf shape.  I then pinched the ends together to form a pod shape.  I allowed this to dry overnight. For the peas I made two balls out of green fondant.
 
For the baby I colored the fondant ball with copper gel paste.  I used a toothpick dipped in the copper color to dot on the eyes.  I used a toothpick to draw on the nose. For the pacifier and bow, I used fondant I colored pink.  I cut out a small circle for the base of the pacifier.  I formed a thin rope and made a loop for the rest of the pacifier.  I also used rope to form the bow.  I secured the pacifier and bow to the baby by dabbing a small amount of water on each piece and then placing on the baby's face.
 
I placed the baby and the peas inside the pod, and then placed the entire pod on the vines.
