Pink, Bassinet Baby!

Strawberry cake. I made 3 layers of cake then shaped the stacked layers into an oval with a long sharp knife. In between each layer I put a layer of frosting in between so they can stay secure. After frosting the whole 3 layer oval, I measured and rolled out an oval shape of fondant and covered just the top for a smooth bottom for the baby to lay on.. I made the hood out of gum paste. TIP: Roll out gum paste and cut it into a hemisphere and lay it out onto a bowl of whatever size you need and let it dry for 3-5 days. I made the mistake of waiting til 2 days before and the gum paste didn't dry all the way and started collapsing little by little. I covered mistakes with frosting! I used a basket weave tip for the outside and attached sugar flowers and pearls to the basket weave. I rolled out fondant and cut out a square for the blanket. The rocking horse etc are not edible. The flowers and pearls are.
