Vintage Toy Baby Shower

A cake for a vintage toy baby shower. 8" and 6". The truck cab is made from rice crispy treats and then built up with fondant. Everything else is fondant. Loved making this cake.

Gorgeous! Would love to know how you get such perfect horizontal stripes without stretching.

Thank you! I'm not allowed to give links here (I don't think) but you can find a tutorial in Notes on my Facebook page (Royal Bakery) for the horizontal stripes.

WOW! This is amazing! How did you get your pin stripes so even at the top?

This cake has excellent composition and it?s perfectly executed. Just beautiful! May I ask what letter cutter did you use for the ?Baby??

Thank you, Sweet Hope! I actually used a silicone mould by Martha Stewart. I put the fondant in, freeze it and then it pops out without getting misshapen. (Just don't touch it until the condensation evaporates!)
