Pregnant Belly
Baby Shower Cake Picture

Misty Corbett, from Travelers Rest, SC, submitted this baby shower cake picture. Affectionately titled, "Hello mommy, goodbye tummy!"

I baked a 9 x 13 rectangle cake and 1/2 of the Wilton ball pan to make to belly bump as well as 2 of the Wilton mini-wonder pans to make the breast.

After all of the cakes have completely cooled, I iced the rectangle cake with buttercream icing until covered well and smooth.

Before the icing dried, I positioned the round cakes in the center on the rectangle cake to form the figure of a pregnant woman. I then iced the "bump" part of the cake and then covered with fondant.

I used a star tip to cover the breast and on the belly under the shirt. I made a bow out of fondant and place it on top of the belly and add accents to the shirt. I used a larger star tip to make the border. I took little plastic baby bottles to decorate the sides of the cake.

Lastly, I wrote "Hello Mommy Goodbye Tummy" on the cake under the belly.

This is one of my favorite cakes to make. It is a lot of fun and it is always a big hit at the shower.
