Rubber Duckie Baby Shower Cake

Rubber Duckie Baby Shower Cake

The bathtub is made of a marble cake.

I cut the center of the second layer and placed it on top of the first layer cake. I then butter creamed the entire cake and then put white fondant on it to make it look like a bathtub.

The faucet and the knobs are made of rice krispy treats covered in white fondant as well. The blocks are made of rice krispy treats covered in light colored fondants.

The bubbles are made of white rolled up fondant. The center of the cake is pure butter cream frosting and then you decorate with any plastic rubber duckies. Pretty easy but time consuming with the details.

This Rubba Dub Dub Baby Shower Cake was made from 2 eight inch cakes stacked together.

The wooden barrow is made from fondant.

I rolled out the fondant, cut into strips and covered the cake.

The towel, shirt and soap are also made from fondant.

Rolled out the fondant and and cut each piece. For the bubbles I used butter cream icing and piped large dots on the cake.

The tiles on the floor is one large piece of fondant, I took a cookie cutter and made the square impressions.

The duck is plastic. Thanks for looking.

Cute Baby Duck Cake

by María
(Guayaquil, Guayas, Ecuador)

For this cute baby duck cake I used three different cakes: vanilla, chocolate and orange.

All of the cakes are double layered, with dulce de leche between them.

The biggest cake was chocolate, that was the bottom one.

I covered all of the cakes with white butter cream icing .

Then I colored the icing with blue ciel to make the chain border.

Then I started to paste little candy pacifiers to the bottom and I made little dots with blue ciel and light green.

For the next layer, I used ribbons made in advance: blue and green.

First I used light green icing to decorate and paste the ribbons.

Then I used the Wilton columns and at the top base.

I pasted little candy pacifiers to the green and blue laces.

Then I made in advance blocks with blue ciel fondant and I wrote in each block the letters B A B Y to form BABY with different colors.

At the top cake, I used the basket weave method with blue ciel icing and then I pasted the baby duck.

This cake was a lot of fun because it was for my sister-in-law's first baby.

I made this cake with a square chocolate cake filling with pastry cream and a round white cake. I carved the round cake to make the waterfall then cover with fondant.

The ducks were made of pastille finish painted by hand and fondant flowers and leaves.

Duck Baby Shower Cake

by Beverly Bruno
(Nutley, NJ)

This Duck Baby Shower Cake was made for a very special baby that will be born in February 2010. He is the only survivor of quadruplets and he has a very rare heart defect which will require open heart surgery when he is two days old, so I wanted to make something very special for the Mom and Dad's baby shower. My cake may not be as profession, but it is unique and made with lots of love.

The base of the cake was made with scratch yellow cake batter equivalent to eight two-layer cakes. I added two packages of instant vanilla pudding and about 1/2 cup Miracle Whip. The cake was moist a week later. Everything was frosted with basic butter cream frosting. The sides were white, the top was tinted an uneven blue/green to look like a wavy pond.

Baby Max was made with two rectangle 8" pans layered with frosting. I then carved the shape of the baby. The scraps were used to form legs and arms. I used milk to thin the frosting to seal the crumbs. I then frosted the entire cake with tinted butter cream frosting using a star tip (hides the flaws in carving). Max has a plastic pacifier in his mouth and two diaper pins on his diaper with a rattle on the platform with him. The platform is simply cardboard bent to form a platform and covered with aluminum foil. A 12" rubber duck was placed in the pond. A few of the kids at the shower put the little white rubber duck and extra diaper pin and pacifiers on the cake. The name is simply white foam.

My cake may not look bakery perfect, but it was a huge hit with everyone and delicious.

Cute as a button baby shower cake

by Deborah Blevins
(Ontario, California)

As a decorator, Baby Shower cakes are by far my favorite party to decorate a cake for.

There is nothing more beautiful then the love of a new life.

This cake is one of my favorites, as you can see I put much time into making sure this cake was done perfect with a nice clean finish.

The buttons are each cut out with a circle cutter, and a pointed fondant tool was used to make the threading holes.

The baby's clothing was done with a fondant (Press and Cut) tool, that allows for indents to be pressed into the fondant before using a cut out to obtain the perfect shape.

The baby's blanked was done with a roller tool that gives the impression of stitching, and the edges were cut with little slivers all the way around to give the impression of fringe.

The cake flavors where red velvet and cream cheese on the bottom tier.

Top 2 tiers were a white cake dyed with a baby pink tint!!

Thank you :)
