Baby Shower Cake With Bassinet Topper
I had so much fun making this cake, especially the topper. I would like to thank cake central subscriber, ptanyer, who gave me the wonderful tip to use a scrapbook punch to make the "lace". The cake community on this site is so generous with sharing their knowledge.....I've learned so much and I am very grateful.
I really love your baby cake topper. It is absolutely beautiful! I have to make one for my daughter who is expecting in April. Do you mind sharing what you use to make the bottom part of the bassinet?
Thank you.
Hi drmoo! Thank you for the lovely compliment! Sure, the base of the bassinet is a styrofoam dummy cake carved into an oval shape. Hope that helps! Good luck!
Ann Marie,
Thank you very much for the prompt response! I thought that was what you use, but I was not sure. Your answer helps me tremendously. Thank you very much for sharing.
drmoo...you are very welcome...have fun! Would love to see a pic of your finished project!
Hi Ann Marie,
We had the Baby Shower last Saturday, March 5th. I would like to thank you for all the help you gave me; you are very kind. Here is the link for the bassinet and cake.

Hi drmoo...Oh, it was my pleasure...I'm glad I was able to help! You did a fantastic job!!! All the best to the new family-to-be!
Ann Marie,
Thank you very much!
I absolutely love this cake! Can you tell me how you did the bassinet hood? I'm assuming it's fondant and floral wire?
Absolutely stunning!!! I have 1 question, how did you make the ruffles? So in love with this cake.
@Janiragreen...sorry about the delayed response on this....I just saw it because another member left a comment. Yes, you are correct...it is floral wire between two sheets of fondant mixed with tylose powder.
@Vazqquezliza76...I used a Martha Stewart lace paper puncher.
Thank you both for the lovely compliments!
Hi, Ann Marie
Thanks for answering my question, I will like to know if you have any tutorial for this topper??
Hi Vazquezliza76...No problem! Unfortunately, I do not have a tute, sorry. Good luck! You can do it! :)
