Sweet Slumber Cake

Sweet Slumber Cake
I baked a 12x18 inch sheet cake. I made two batches of butter cream frosting. I tinted one batch baby blue. I then cut the second batch in two and tinted one half yellow and left the other half white. I frosted the cake with baby blue. For the pillow I used a basket weave tip on the flat side and created a rough rectangle with the blue icing. I smoothed the pillow down with a little bit of cornstarch and my fingertips. I added a white ruffle around the pillow and all four sides of the cake. I did the ruffle with tip #104. I also added tip #1 yellow icing lines on the pillow. I bought a baby doll kit from Wal-mart. It came with the bottle and rattles. I used a large glob of icing to hold the baby up and propped him on his knees. I then used a small rectangle of fondant to place over the baby. This ensured a place for my quilted icing to lay. I piped the baby booties with tip #12 and yellow icing. I used tip #2 to add small blue balls and a tie to the booties. I placed the rattles and bottle randomly on around the pillow. Next I made my yellow ruffle for the quilts borders with tip #104. I then pulled strings or fringes from tip #5 using all three colors. I used a toothpick to create the squares for the quilt. Next, I used star tip #17 to pipe on the color in the quilt squares. Once you decide your pattern you can determine where your letters will go and use a toothpick to draw them so you do not forget. Sweet Slumber Cake
