"Can't wait to meet you" Cake

by Nelly Raldiris
(Jacksonville, FL, USA)

"Can't wait to meet you" Cake

1st Place Winner in our Cake Contest

For this "Can't wait to meet you" Cake...

I prepared the cakes using vanilla bean Betty Crocker cake mix.

To intensify the flavor I added a teaspoon of madagascar vanilla extract.

For the filling I used raspberry preserves, fresh raspberries and raspberry liquor (Chambord).

I made my own fondant with a mix of 16 oz mini marshmallows and 1 pound confectioners sugar.

I melted the marshmallows on the microwave for 2 min in 30 seconds intervals. Added a teaspoon of clear vanilla flavoring.

On a clean surface I dumped the confectioners sugar, i made a well in the center and pur the melted marshmallows.

I grease my hands with crisco and work on the misture like when making bread.

I iced my cakes with butter cream and covered with the fondant. I made the brown cut out squares with tootsie rolls.

I molded the pregnant lady with fondant and decorated with natural flowers, fondant cut outs and white and pink chocolate candies. It took me 8 hours from beginning to end.

All the tricks and tips I learned from the internet (I googled everything!!!).
