Polka Dot Baby Shower Cake

Polka Dot Baby Shower Cake on Cake Central

The mommy was very specific on what she wanted. A 2 tier cake, blue with brown polka dots with a bow on top and ribbon coming down the sides. She also wanted the cake to be funfetti (a box mix) with whipped icing and fondant. Well, the design was simple but I now know that you DO NOT put fondant on whipped icing. I used Wiltons whipped icing mix so that the cake would not need to be refrigerated and MMF. Well, the icing was very soft and fluffy so when I put the fondant on it, it was next to impossible to get out the wrinkles or smooth it. Thankfully, the polka dots and ribbon covered a lot of the wrinkles and there was a decent looking area that became the front of the cake which is what I took a picture of. Well, I will know better next time. :) Oh, and the bow is gumpaste so mommy could keep it. TFL!
