My sister-in-law was throwing a shower and found these adorable napkins, so we modeled the cake after them.
The bottom layer is a 3-layers, 8" round. The top is a 2-layer 6" round. All devil's food chocolate cake, with white buttercream frosting. The dots and stripes were fondant (with a hint of peppermint extract). The little duck on top was fondant.
I will admit, I really love having a napkin or plate to model the cake after. It makes it so fun to do, and I think it's fun for the host and guests to have coordinating party stuff.
It was a crazy weekend, I feel like 10 tornadoes went through my kitchen, one at a time, and I cleaned up after each one. I baked 3 cakes this week. One for Wednesday, this one and then one for Teresa and Hannah today. While finishing up yesterdays baby shower cake, I started to make scalloped potatoes and ham casserole for a dinner with the in-laws. I am a little glad to have the weekend coming to a close, but the chaos has just begun. We head to St. George, UT on Wednesday for a Family Reunion and Thanksgiving. Have a great Holiday!
