And a delivery to the wild wild west!

Baby booties, building blocks and a little cute bear.

Last one for the quarter I'm afraid. Miss 9-5 is turning into 9-midnight... Until July!

I can count the number of times I've been invited to a baby showers with the fingers on my right (or left) hand!

I made some mini cupcakes with baby themed marshmallow fondant and a super cute (almost Disney's Belle-esque) tummy cake for mummy! I personally find it a little weird to 'cut' a tummy cake but at the same time it is so delightfully cute. I mean, it is the mother who bears the child from almost 10 months isn't it? So why can't we also honour her as well as bubba!

A tummy cake is amazingly easy - so long as you have the right pans. Two smaller semi circle spheres and a larger one. I used two silicon chocolate moulds and one of the semi-spheres of the Wilton Sports Ball Cake Pan. Perfect sizing. And here's a tip, if it's not, just use more ganache to reshape so the proportions look okay. The great thing is that there is no right or wrong!

And you can pretty much design the "dress" however you please. I just did some really easy pleats with ribbon of fondant, finished with a little flower.

I've seen buttercream roses, elaborate lace designs, sequins, pearls, etc. I guess this is where it's easy to design the cake to suit the mum-to-be.

I'm not quite at that age where I have been to very many baby shower parties. I can count how many I've been to on one thumb ;)

So it was a pleasant surprise when I was approached to make a cake for a baby shower and not a birthday! Whoop!

They wanted a rocking horse (it looks more like a horse on skiis as it was really humid this week). The horse itself is sooo cute don't you think? One of the friends of the mum-to-be was organizing the cake and picked soft yellow and blue. Classic baby colours with spots. Loving simple.

This cake was a triple layer of raspberry and white chocolate cake with homemade raspberry jam and white chocolate ganache. Delish.

What to make when you don't know the sex of the baby? Yellows, Oranges, Greens and use as secondary colours pink and blue!

Owls are cute... and meaningful! There's a little bit of a hidden motif in that the new parents will be up like night owls with feedings and whatever else is involved with a new baby! The pastel colours are so pretty.

The little flags would possibly have worked better with a taller cake but still flows~

Would have loved to  be there to cut this one! Marble mud with one of our best batches of white chocolate buttercream. Light, fluffy and delicious!

Good luck to new mum-to-be Belinda!
