\"Cake<\/p>\n

I have been baking and decorating cakes for years. A lot of cakes I made are for friends and family and not one is ever the same.<\/p>\n

When I was looking through my photos of all the cakes I have decorated in the past years, I came across this one.<\/p>\n

I made this one almost 7 years ago. It doesn’t seem that long though. One of our friends was having her second child a few months after I had my second one. (that is sort of how I know how long ago this was)<\/p>\n

When my friend had her baby, I made this cake to bring to her in the hospital. I did not know what the baby would look like, what I did know was that it was a girl.<\/p>\n

The little girl’s older brother is my girl’s best friend and he is a red head. So I figured his sister would be red too.<\/p>\n

It turned out that I was right about the red hair and it was even curled like I decorated her on the cake, the cake actually resembled her very much.<\/p>\n

To make the cake, I used my favourite recipe for my sponge cake. Then I created fondant from marshmallows.<\/p>\n

I weaved the basket and made the hood like it just folded down, wrinkles and all. I used food colouring to colour the fondant I used for the head, the blanket and the hair.<\/p>\n

The basket is surrounded by green coconut, which I coloured as well. This way it looks like mom is out on a picnic with her newborn.<\/p>\n

This is one of the cakes in my “Fun Cake Decorating Ideas”<\/a> book, which you can get here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The creation of this cake and many more are described in much more detail in my Fun Cake Decorating Ideas<\/a><\/strong> book.<\/p>\n
