Angel Fairy watching over Baby cake
This was a first for me, molding an angel and a baby, but it was a lot of fun. I have never had any cake decorating lessons just some pans and tips from a yard sale. I use to watch my older sister make wedding cakes and learned what I could from her, but thought I would never like making cakes. I was wrong its great fun creating something. Hope you like it! You will need: 12 inch x 2 inch deep pan Two 8 inch x 2 inch deep pans 3-4 cake mixes, follow box directions Food colorings, pink, juniper green, brown for hair, purple for flower centers flower and leaf cutters Large box white fondant Buttercream icing grass tip, #5 tip rolling pin for fondant Instructions: I first made some butter cream icing in pink and covered the 12 inch cake, then I used the Chantilly lace effect with #5 tip all over the 12 inch cake. I then iced the two 8 inch cakes using juniper green and stacked them on top of the 12 inch. The Angel Fairy, baby, leaves and flowers were all hand molded after coloring my fondant with the different colors. Their faces were hand painted with food coloring and shiny pearl dust. I dressed them with fondant leaves for clothes. I then used a grass tip to make the grassy border on top of the cake. I finished the cake with a white large fondant bow that had been made earlier and allowed to harden. The only item that is not edible on my cake is the wings, which I purchased at a local craft store and place in her back with a pearl push pin to hold.
