Baby Stacking Toy Cake
by Marianne Margrave
Baby Stacking Toy Cake Instructions for Baby Stacking Toy Cake I made this cake for my daughter who was expecting her first child. I wanted to attempt something out of the ordinary so I tried to duplicate a stacking toy I bought as a present for my yet unborn grandson. It is four double layers of carrot cake with cream cheese butter cream filling between the layers and all covered in fondant. The layer sizes are 4, 6, 8, and 10. The head with nose and eyes are covered Styrofoam. Other materials I tried including the krispy treats were too heavy.  special deal for our readers! I had to make each layer separately covered in fondant and assemble the cake where the shower was taking place because it was too heavy to transport assembled. I had cardboard separations between each layer and small wooden dowels to support each layer. I made the loops on the top layer in time to allow them to set up so they would hold their shape and attached each loop with a small piece of raw spaghetti. This cake took close to 18 hours total to complete. It was truly a labor of love. My daughter appreciated my effort. See more cute baby shower cakes
