Baby Clothes Cake

Can you believe how adorable this baby clothes cake is? It was decorated by Julie McOrmond from Rochester, NY, USA. The following are her directions...

This is a two tiered stacked cake. The bottom tier is a two-layer 8" round, and the top is a two-layer 5" round. Both tiers are iced in white (vanilla) buttercream.

I used the Wilton Fondant People cutter set to make little cut outs of baby clothes- booties, little shirts, onesies, bibs, and hats in light pink, blue, yellow and green fondant.

I used matching colors in buttercream to add little details to the clothes- like buttons, polka dots, and fluffy cuffs.

I sectioned the cake into 5ths and draped a thin strip of yellow fondant through each division, to make the little clothesline and bows.

I positioned the little fondant clothes just below the clothesline. I used little tiny strips of white fondant to look like clothespins attaching the clothes to the line.

Lastly, I used the matching multi-colored buttercreams to pipe a rainbow shell border around the base of each tier.

They loved it!
