Baby Girl Stork Cake
How to Make a Stork Cake
Cake layout
1) This is a regular half sheet cake. I made this at home for a shower of one of my colleagues. Click here for baking tips. (Coming Soon .... )
Icing
2) Icing is butter cream icing. Use a parchment paper , lay it on the cake and gently peel it to get the smooth surface.
3)Use icing color to make pink and yellow icing.
4) The stork is drawn free hand with the regular tip.
5) For black icing I prefer to buy it from the store because home made black color is always a shade of grey.
6) The balloons are also from the same circle tip.

Cupcakes were used to form the booties, and the stroller is drawn free-hand. Stencils were used for the lettering. This cake was made for a baby girl but the colors work well for a baby boy as well.
Baby Boy Shower Cake
This Cake was a pineapple layer cake with white buttercream icing.
Decorations
1) The decorations are mostly made of chocolate.
2) First trace out the picture on parchment paper.
3) Melt chocolate in a microwave and fill in a ziploc with a tiny hole in the corner. (Alternatively you can use readymade decoration plastic cones). Draw free hand and then once it dries you can turn it over and make further trimmings in different colors.
4) The decorations can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This cake has a bottle, horse toy, baby, rattle all made with chocolate. The baby blanket is rolled out fondant.
Black Forest Baby Shower Cake
The picture below is of a Black Forest Cake modified to be a Baby Shower Cake. Since black forest is my friend's favorite cake and cherries and chocolate shavings are an integral part of any black forest cake, this one has been made as a combination. The Baby is made from chocolate and so are the captions and rattle.
