Brown and Blue Precious Moments Baby Shower Cake

I started out with white cake mix and added a teaspoon of vanilla and almond flavoring to spice it up. I iced it with a thin layer of buttercream icing and then topped it off with marshmallow fondant. I had never used fondant before to cover a cake, so this was a unique experience. I had tasted the boxed fondant before when we made soap bubbles for my granddaughters 2nd birthday cake and it tasted horrible. The marshmallow fondant was delicious. I will definitely use it again.

Originally, I was going to make the edging and dots from the fondant also. However, I was in Target and had the revelation that I could use Whoppers to put around the edge of the cake instead of making the fondant balls. I attached the Whoppers with royal icing. Everyone at the shower loved this idea, because who doesn't love Whoppers.

Then, the next day while getting a bow made for the top of the cake, I came across my perfect circles. I found candy melts in a variety of different colors. Perfect! Brown and light blue candy melts worked perfect and tasted great. I also attached them with royal icing.

My original intent was to place a bow with baby shoes on the top of the cake. But when I was looking for my shower present, I came across this adorable doll. It says a prayer when you press its belly. This turned out to be an adorable cake topper that the mom to be can take home as a memory of the shower for her perfect new son.


This cake provides the guest with cake, icing, and candy all in one treat. I got rave reviews from the cake and fondant. I will definitely be using the marshmallow fondant again soon.
