Stork 's Arrival Cake
by Yohandra Gonzalez
Stork's Arrival Cake I made this cake for a friend of mine who had her baby shower on Saturday June 27, 2009. Her theme was: baby feet, storks, "It's a Boy" ribbon & baby clothes. The cake was for 90 people. It was a vanilla flavored sponge rum cake. The cake was made up of three round tiers 3" deep. 12", 10" & 8". The mixture is all from scratch and its always a hit. People really enjoy the delicious moist cake with the vanilla/rum flavor.  special deal for our readers! Most of the decorations around the cake were made out of fondant, with the exception of the cake top, the storks on the middle tier and the decorations on the base of the cake that were made out of "cold porcelain". All 3 tiers were covered in Fondant. The bottom tier was died with the Wilton color "Sky Blue". The middle tier was the same "Sky Blue" but marbleized. The top tier was left white. For the edges of each tier I used white vanilla butter cream frosting (homemade). When working with Fondant decorations please make sure you make them a few days in advance, and you may want to make a few extras just in case they break. Although this cake took many hours to make seeing the reaction of the "PARENTS TO BE" was all worth it. See more cute baby shower cakes
