Glad this one's done! My husband cooked a few items by accident and I had to make new fondant palm trees and a few animals. Buttercream frosted and fondant decor and molded hand painted baby. Took me a couple of tries to get the pith helmet right! But the mom to be loved it and that made the extra angst worth it.

My friend's niece wanted a giraffe theme, so I made a 4-layer 9" round buttercream French Vanilla cake with alternating layers of Bavarian cream and raspberry filling. The fondant/gumpaste giraffe is sitting on a one layer 5" round. The base is smoothed buttercream and the decor is fondant. She loved it, and that counts more than my whining about doing yet another jungle cake! ;D

Jungle baby shower cake. Chocolate buttercream bottom tier with whipped ganache filling, top tier vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Fondant decor. My second giraffe to do and I think it turned out lots better than my first attempt. Inspiration from a CC'er here who's name I can't remember...!

I've been wanting to do this cake since I saw Bates123 post it on CC a while ago. I just wish I hadn't been throwing the baby shower as well because there were so many little details I wanted to put in that I didn't have time to! But the mom to be loved it and that was the main goal. Strawberry/vanilla marble cake with cheesecake filling on bottom tier. French vanilla with whipped chocolate ganache on 2nd tier and french vanilla with lemon curd filling on top tier. Buttercream frosted and fondant decor with modeling chocolate pea pod baby topper. 9", 7", 5" sizes

A mom-to-be liked a baby shower cake I had done earlier for my daughter's friend and she wanted the same look...a baby peeking out of a gift box. Only this one was to be a sports theme. Baby head, hat, filler paper and bow made of gum paste. Stripes and stars made of fondant. French vanilla cake with raspberry filling. Someone else brought cake balls shaped like baseballs, footballs and such. They loved the cake and I was happy to do it for them.

Done for a friend of mine who had a party for her family to reveal the baby's sex. The mother-to- be wanted Chocolate cake with whipped ganache filling so I made that the bottom cake (two 9x13's) with chocolate buttercream. The 'gift' box on top was the cake that held the answer. French vanilla with pink buttercream mixed with raspberry filling.
Comments appreciated!

Cake for my friend's daughter's baby shower. I had actually been the one to give my friend her baby shower for her daughter 28 years ago...made the cake then too, however it was just a sheet cake then with my attempt at piping pink flowers around the edge. I told them I wanted to come full circle and do the cake for HER baby now. It was designed based on the invitations sent. Bottom tier is 4 layer, light and dark chocolate cake with whipped chocolate ganache filling...(mom-to-be is a choco-holic). Top tier was french vanilla cake with raspberry filling. All buttercream frosting with fondant decor. Made the topper out of gum paste.

CSM: Friend of my daughter was throwing a baby shower for her sister and she wanted a cake that she felt she could deliver out of town so we went with a 9 x 13 two layer (not torted--2 separate layers) cake with a jungle theme to coordinate with an invitation. Apparently the unborn child has been called 'Bud' so we had fun with that. Chocolate with whipped chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream. Lots of pregnant girls at the shower who love chocolate apparently! I wish I could say this was a fun cake to do, but I was exhausted and had put off coloring my fondant so I was up very late. Plus the buttercream kept getting soft and I had to keep going back and forth to the fridge! Long night. But my daughter's friend loved it.

A cake inspired by the invitation. 9" bottom tier is chocolate cake, choc BC and whipped chocolate ganache filling. Top tier is 7" and is French vanilla with strawberry filling. Gumpaste and fondant decor. Gumpaste giraffe was not my favorite so I avoided doing any more jungle animals and concentrated instead on the colors and flowers.

Your cakes are so original. How on earth did you do the box?

ccwilson 11/2/12 at 7:30am

I am sorry I have not logged in for quite some time. Which box are you referring too?

carmonscakes 11/2/12 at 7:31am

Thank You :-) I am not sure what you mean by the box though.

SweetTreatsxXx 11/3/12 at 5:04am

Im not sure why I have comments that don`t refer to my cakes.... I think there is a problem with this site??? Anyone know what that could be???

FondantDreams 11/4/12 at 5:05am

I'm also wondering what all of these comments on my page are? This site is so confusing now.

EmiliaLeslie 11/4/12 at 12:14pm

I am thinking this is because we uploaded our pictures to a community album and not a personal one. :/

smplycreative2 11/4/12 at 3:46pm

lol i have comments on my page that don't pertain to my cakes

FondantDreams 11/4/12 at 4:38pm

Is anybody else finding this new layout extremely confusing? I am hating it, definitely not easier.

Toster 11/4/12 at 6:47pm

Yes, it is very confusing now. I don't like it at all!

millermom 11/5/12 at 8:31am

I'm so glad it's not just me! I'm on my page right now, looking at my baby shower cakes, but there are 9 comments here that are definitely not me.

althomas 11/5/12 at 3:40pm

I'm not sure I like this either...I'm looking at pics of my cakes and wondering where all these comments came from. Not from my cakes! LOL.

Rosie2 11/5/12 at 4:41pm

Ditto to all of the above...not sure what's going on but these comments do not belong to my photos either. What they do to this site??!! it really is aweful! :(

lming 11/6/12 at 1:31pm

Me too, i do NOT like this new page. Very confusing and not user friendly. I am looking at my baby shower cakes and i see all these comments that do not pretain to me. What is going on?

Dalicha 11/7/12 at 8:56am

Soosieq if you're refering to my open gift box??? i'm also confuse gggrrr

lming 11/7/12 at 12:31pm

beth78148 11/11/12 at 6:11pm

Yea, I found all of these comments on my cake page too and was like oh that's nice until I realized it wasn't for me??…. This is a little confusing!! ><

sugarflour2 11/14/12 at 5:41pm

Yes, this new set-up is too weird. I know I should have read the manual before attempting to navigate through the new CC, but I guess old habits are hard to break and I didn't have to do that when I signed up for the original CC, everything was pretty self-explanatory. I don't have much time to be on the computer so spending the little time I have taking a class to learn how to make my way though is not fun, lol, not at all.

BlueCactus 11/15/12 at 9:56pm

ahhhh, i'm looking at my baby shower cakes and a whole bunch of confused comments.... i think they are having some monumental teething issues with the new design. Me thinks someone will be working through the evenings to resolve these numerous issues.
