Thank you all for the lovely comments. I just had a little visit from the Mother-to-Be. She wanted to personally thank me - How sweet was that?

I really love everything about your cake and cupcakes. What are the little blocks made and did you use a mold for them?

JWinslow 7/1/12 at 2:21pm

Thanks. The blocks are 50/50 gum paste and fondant and used with the first impression mold.

Absolutely precious! I'm doing a baby shower cake this weekend and want to do a blanket on the baby. How did you do your blanket?

JWinslow 7/1/12 at 5:38pm

it's a little hard to see the blanket cause I have it scrunched but it is a plaid. I rolled out gum paste on#2 on my pasta machine -cut to size and cover with plastic. Using a clay gun, make your paste really moist (lots of Crisco). Starting at one of the corners, squeeze little stands across and then in the opposite direction. Press gently to make sure they stick. Roll through machine on one and then two. Hope this helps - let me know if you have questions and don't hesitate to PM me.

Thanks so much for the info on making the blanket! That was so thoughtful.

Oh Wow! Beautiful. The way you did the letters in between the billows is just so neat! Love your topper too!

It's really lovely. How did you hold up the moon. My guess is that it's quite heavy. How did you anchor it to the cake?

JWinslow 7/3/12 at 8:17pm

Lynne3, The moon has two small skewers and I placed it over a small hollow poly dowel. The dowel really wasn't necessary because the clouds (both sides) distributed the weight nicely.
