Baby Shower Cake W/converse Sneakers

My FIRST baby shower cake, for a family member; inspired by many on CC. Very challenging making a cake 400 miles away from home. So many things went wrong! The top cake of the bottom tier split everywhere as I was moving it around to fill & ice it -- it looked like an earthquake had struck & I had to do such a patchwork job on it. I just KNEW the bottom tier was going to completely collapse, especially once I stacked the top tier on it. But the cake gods were smiling upon me & it somehow held together! 10" bottom tier is triple chocolate with peanut butter filling, 8" top tier is WASC with lemon creme filling; all covered in vanilla BC with fondant accents. Shoes are 50/50 with gum paste laces. I wish I'd done many things different, but everyone (especially the mom-to-be) was in awe, and that's the most important thing!
