📝 Preparation Steps
1
Bake cakes and allow them to cool completely.
2
While the cakes are baking and cooling, prepare the frosting.
3
To assemble the cake, place one cake on a serving dish, spread icing on top and place the other cake on top. Press gently and the ice the entire cake smoothly.
4
Roll out brown fondant and spread it over the cake. Smooth it out with a fondant smoother. Cut off excess along the base with a sharp knife. This will be the face of the baby.
5
For the ears, cut out two “moon-like” cardboard pieces.Make sure they are about the same size. Brush a thin layer of royal icing or corn syrup on these cardboard pieces and then cover them in brown fondant.Use tape or a glue gun to attach a toothpick behind each cardboard ear. Press these toothpicks on either sides of your cake.Now, your baby has ears!
6
Our baby had lots of hair when he was born and I wanted this baby cake to have some hair too. For this, roll out black fondant into a “snake” form and then arrange it in a spiral shape. Push a toothpick into the base.
7
For the nose, roll out a ball using brown fondant.
8
For the mouth, cut out a black fondant circle, a red fondant leaf and two small white fondant squares. Use an edible marker to draw a line on the red leaf like I did.
9
For the eyes, just cut out a “V” shape using black fondant and bend the ends downward.
10
To put everything together, brush some water behind the mouth, nose and eye pieces and stick them onto the cake.
11
Push the hair piece on the top of the cake and you are done. Enjoy.
