My dear Sister in law is pregnant and of course we like to give her a nice babyshower. So 24th October seemed to be the perfect day to do so. To make it a real succes, I've made her this cake.

The baby on top is inspired by Anne Geddes and is all edible. It's made out of marzepin and I didn't use flowerwire or wooden sticks to hold it together. For the wings I've used candy paper.

I've used strawberry mousse for filling the cake and then covered it with buttercream and marzepin. For decoration, I've made some marzepin flowers and leaves.

While I was working on this cake, my lovely daugther came to help me. Unfortunately she wasn't planning to help me decorate, but to help me cut the cake. So needed to put some more flowers and leaves to cover the hole she made.

No need to tell the whole cake was gone in a second...
