Nursery Room Cake

A couple days before I baked the cake, I handmade the figurines (mix of fondant and gumpaste) of:

1. Baby in its cradle
first I made an oval tubular shape for the base of the bed and bed skirt. the baby which is a teardrop shape for body and a ball shape for its head. I used a candy stick to hold the drappery which i made from gumpaste and stick a bow on the top of the drapery. baby quilts is thinly roll fondant and pressed with motif stamps.

2. Brown Bear
a teardrop shape for the body, sausage shapes for hands and legs, and I shaped a round with protuding nose for the head. two ears by pressing two small ball shapes. a small triangle shape for his nose.

3. Baby Blocks
four blocks and use a tracing wheel to make stitches at each sides of the blocks and stick a letter cutout to each block.

4. Rug
thin flower shape cutout and embosse each petal with the wilton flower embossing

5. Baby's stuff stamps on each square cutouts and outlined each side with the tracing wheel.

The cake itself is a basic yellow cake with swiss meringue buttercream and covered with satin ice fondant. The bottom is 9" round cake. The top is 6" round cake.
