Lady Bug's 1st Birthday


















This cake was made for a special little girl's 1st birthday.  I made her mom's babyshower cake so couldn't pass up the chance to make her 1st birthday cake.
After a few e-mail's we decided on the cake design and the rest is history...  Here are some pics showing the cake as it unfolds.  Thanks to cake central for the inspiration/cake idea...

The basic covered cake...


This is the naked lady bug for the top of the cake.  The smash cake was made in a similar way...

Head covered in fondant
 

The start of the assembly


My secret to writting on cakes, since I hate doing it... I press these letters into the cake


Can you see the impressions?


 Then I trace over the imprint with icing... Looks much better then my freehand...




 


The little smash cake... SO cute!
 The finished products...
