Sweet Buns Baby Shower Cake
I have used a sheetcake pan, my ball pan, and rice krispies. I plaed 1 half of the ball on the sheetcake pan. These were both frosted with buttercream icing. Next, I molded the legs, feet and toes out of rice krispies. I then made flesh colored fondant by mixing some creamy peach and Ivory. I covered the rice krispies with the fondant. Last, I made a sheet of mint green fondant and draped it over the baby's buns as a quilt. I decorated the quilt after it was placed on the baby buns.
Hint: When you make baby cakes, be sure to cut extra fondant pieces (hearts, strollers, stars, etc.) so when you need to use them on something such as a quilt, you can save LOTS of time).
