Awaiting My New Nephew

 

Had a baby shower for my new nephew who will be arriving in about a month. We are all very excited to meet him.  I found the inspiration for the cake on cakecentral.com. I combined two cakes I liked and came up with the Onsie and clothes line combo.  Here are some pics of the assembly...


Cut the Onsie out of fondant with a steak knife...


What I used to make the snaps

Making the buttons...




 
Making the washline poles... Best thing I ever did was buy premixed black fondant. Black is the hardest color to mix.

 

The finished iced cake waiting for the pieces to go one... They are all waiting in the background.

 The cake is finished for now.  I assembled it at the shower.  I didn't want to transport it on the cake stand and risk a cake wreck...

 The finished cake...

 Can't resist sharing this picture of my super cute Niece. She was practicing her smiles today and got this one just right...

 The rest of the girls... All looking fabulous!
