Fondant Baby Shower Cupcake

Maria Roca, of Wichita, KS, designed this very sweet fondant baby shower cupcake.

These little cupcakes were made for a garden themed shower for a baby girl (whose name will be Rose). These little cakes are my original design and 100% edible. Most guests enjoyed the cupcakes and saved the roses and baby as a memento as she was just too cute to eat.

The cupcake measures a little over 3 1/2 across inches by about 2 1/2 inches high. The rose, the baby and the leaves are all made of hand sculpted fondant which was tinted with food coloring to create the pastel colors. The tiny white flowers were made of royal icing. The parents wedding song was "All You Need Is Love". These words are stamped on a leaf on the side of the cupcake.

The actual cupcake is carrot cake with tiny chocolate chips (combination of mom's favorite cravings).

It was a little time consuming but such a fun project to make!
