I need to find a baby bottle w/ a blue top & a pacifier for a Teddy bear cake I'm doing for a baby shower.... The ones I've found are to big or have a white top. I also need baby blocks with different letters to spell the baby's name out. Does anyone have an idea of what I can do or where I can find them.

Why don't you just make them by hand out of fondant or gum paste?

I have not ever worked w/ gum paste also I've worked very little with fondant - all I've done w/ fondant is the roses, leave & over the cake. Is there somewhere I can look to show me more about working w/ the two?

Fondant and Gum paste are both a lot like play-doh and can be sculpted into prety much anything. Fondant has a bit longer drying time than gumpaste and gumpaste is stronger than fondant when dry. Many people like a mixture of both together. there are probably tutorials on here and there is a recipe for MMF - marshmallow fondant, which is easy to make and somewhat less expensive than store bought. Which will be great for you to play around with. Both can be colored before it's sculpted or painted after you've already made something out of it!
