This weekend we finally had the opportunity to go and see one of my best friends and her nearly-new (now 3 week old) baby girl. Of course I couldn’t turn up without cake in hand!
Am pleased to report that all are well, baby is such a cutie and mum and dad filled with scrummy cake 
The base of the cake was a chocolate sponge, filled with vanilla buttercream. I covered the top with green fondant before creating a garden fence out of buttons and mini chocolate fingers (found in the supermarket at Christmas, I’m not sure if you can get them all year round).
To top, pastel coloured flowers, imprinted with the baby’s name using italic letter stencils, piped over with a thin black icing, and finished with some silver sparkly edible glitter.
Finally, 3 beautiful butterflies made using my new butterfly plunger cutters – another fab Christmas present. They imprint a fantastic pattern onto the icing which I painted with food colouring to match the flowers, and finished with a good spritz of gold shimmer spray.
Isn’t it cute! New babies are such a lovely occasion to bake for!
We sampled a slice before a snowy drive home (grr winter weather), well, the baby is too teeny to eat it so someone has too… 
Love the design. It’s so refreshing to see a baby cake that’s not pink. Evelyn is obviously too cool for school!
A really pretty cake! Must have been tasty too!
Thank you! With that much chocolate it couldn’t help but be yummy
such a cute cake! what a lovely thing to take xxx
I think the mum was very happy to receive something that wasn’t baby clothes! x
Very sweet! You can eat cake, thats definitely WAY better than baby clothes!
How sweet!
Thank you!
