Double Baby Shower

At Mike’s office they had a baby shower for 2 families who are having their first babies in a few weeks. One boy and one girl and it was a sweet little time. I took the girls with me and we had lunch with everyone.

Steps to a baby shower cake

This is a cake I did for a double baby shower this week. One family having a girl and one having a boy so I was able to use pink and blue!

Start with the following (made from scratch): 2 batches marshmallow fondant, 21 cups cake batter, 12 cups white icing, fondant buttons in pink and raspberry filling. After baking the cakes you start to assemble.

The bottom portion of the cake was white almond sour cream. Topped with a layer of icing and fondant. The top layer was double fudge chocolate with a raspberry filling.
