Take Me Home Mommy Baby Cake

For this "Take Me Home Mommy Baby Cake"...

I baked two 11 X 15 cakes - one in chocolate and one in yellow.

I cut the cakes in half horizontally when they were room temperature.

Sliding each piece onto a a cake board I froze all the pieces so it would be easier to fill with 3 fillings of raspberry, chocolate Bavarian creme and lemon. Yum.

Once all the pieces were filled and assembled, I used a template to cut out the sweater.

I used a decorator's butter cream icing and "combed" the surface in a zig-zag pattern, then made continuous rows of small shells to create the knitted look.

The ribbon is made of molded chocolate and the roses were made with a number 102 tip - shells with 14 star tip. The cake was then sprinkled with edible glitter to make it shine.

I used the left-over cut-out pieces to make booties and a cap, using the same technique except I did not torte them - way too crumbly.
