I decided to make a baby shower cake for a friend at work.  It was a first  child and he had surprised them by coming a bit early, before his original shower even….which means new baby would be joining us for his shower. So, a special shower for a special baby needed a special cake.  The cake was actually a pattern from the Wilton website .  The cake itself was quite simple to make, but the bed was a different story.  I finally resorted to hot glue to get the plastic rods to stay together to make the bed.  I have some flower molds that I used to make almost 100 flowers to go around the bottom of the bed, and a waffle weave fondant press to make the blanket. It turned out adorable and was worth the hassle of gluing the bed!
