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!
