This diaper bag is a carved cake, with fondant "fabric" pieces. The bottle is carved from Rice Krispy Treats and covered in fondant, and the cute little pacifier is made from gumpaste. There is "stitching" on each of the stripes, as well as the pockets on the sides. The cake board is covered and quilted to resemble a bright, baby blanket.

<br />This sheet cake features a sculpted mustang made out of white chocolate. The letters and the plaque behind the mustang are also white chocolate. The client request the top to be scored as part of the design to make for easier cutting.

Our little train is hand shaped into the engine, various cars, and the gifts. The paint is simply my paste food coloring mixed with clear vanilla.
