Snug As A Bug
Creative Baby Shower Cakes

As sweet as can be! These creative baby shower cakes were decorated by Aimee Pitts from Shreveport, Louisiana!

Her instructions follow:

14" round cake pan

13 x 9" cake pan

Cake is frozen then cut to pattern in flower shape (14"). The bee shape and snail shape are cut out of 13 x 9" in order to not waste much cake.

Icing is buttercream using star tip.

I freehand all of my cakes, either with a pattern I pre-draw or create it with the icing as I go. I don't use any shape pans I freeze it then cut it out using my own pattern.

I can tell you that, for me it is easier to use the star tip to decorate the cut out pieces. That way you do not have to worry about a crumb coat, there is only one layer of icing.

My cakes are made with store bought mixes and I try to stay away from chocolate, I like to use white (mistakes are easier to hide.)
