It's surrounded with 'ribbon roses' which are made from fondant. The baby, blanket and pillow are all made from fondant.

Cake #2 Pizza!


This cake is a thank-you gift for a friend of mine who came and taught a pizza making class for the women in our ward. He did a fabulous job and I wanted to thank him in a fun way. The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant and all the 'toppings' are also fondant. I liked how the toppings came out. The 'cheese' is just grated which makes it look so real. I freehand cut the mushrooms and the peppers and used a #10 tip (I think) bottom to cut the olives and then the tip to cut the centers. I struggled and struggled with the 'dough' for some reason I couldn't achieve the right color for the crust. Also the height is an issue- but when you want to fill it so it's yummy it's going to be taller.
