This weekend was my future sister-in-law’s baby shower! She is getting ready to deliver a baby girl this May! I know she is excited, but I definitely can’t wait for a little girl to be around!

I based this design off an image I had come across on the internet, and loved the overall look. The mommy-to-be is not a fan of pink (gasp!) so we went with the next girliest color, purple. While I am still questioning the idea of putting a newborn baby into a bathtub with bubbles, I have to say my giant cake-ball sculpture turned out great! I’m a big fan of the legs I added to the bottom of the tub.

The cake is chocolate cake with oreo-cream cheese frosting (yum!).

I recently converted to Satin Ice fondant, and could not be more in love! Not only is it easier to work with, it actually tastes good too.

If this cake taught me anything, it’s that I need practice piping. If anyone has any recommendations for make royal icing “bubbles” without leaving a point that needs to be pushed in, I’d love to hear about it.

Check out that bow!
