Baby Girl Bassinet Cake

by Patti Kelman
(Old Bridge, NJ)

Baby Girl Bassinet Cake

Baby Girl Bassinet Cake



For this Baby Girl Bassinet Cake, I used two boxed cake mixes and made (2) 9 x 13 sized cakes. The inside is a chocolate mousse filling.

For the rounded top of the bassinet, I took an oval shaped plastic container and sliced it in half. I frosted the container white.

I used a basic buttercream frosting. I used the basket weave tip to decorate the cake for the bassinet effect. I frosted the top of the cake smooth.

I dyed small pieces of fondant pink and then shaped out the blanket and the pillow, and piped in the inscription.

I attached pink and white lace to the bottom of the cake and around the bassinet top trim and decorated with pink and white ribbons.


New! Take a peek at our printable baby shower water bottle labels!

I think the technique used on this cake is impeccable. I know how hard it is to do a basket weave and to make it perfect. Thank you for sharing this picture, it is beautiful.

by: Linda P.

Unbelievable talent! Patti should be a professional cake decorator or work with "Ace of Cakes" on the foodnetwork! This picture does not do this cake justice. I am sure it tastes just as good as it looks! Patti, this cake is breath-taking and I wish you the very best!

Such a cute idea--and it could easily work for a sex-unknown baby, or a baby boy.

Lovely to look at yet "right on the mark". It is a wonderfully focused edible center piece. Not overdone . Would love to have a celebratory cake like that at my baby function

Having taken cake decorating classes, I know how difficult a basket weave can be. The cake looks flawless and so creative, I don't think I have ever seen a bassinet cake like that. Kudos!!!

by: Donna Brady

I think this cake is adorable!! I am impressed with the basket weave on the cake and how it makes it look so realistic. I like the fact that this cake would also be appropriate for a boy, if done in blue.
