Sweet little Alyssa is celebrating her First Birthday.
This little lady wanted a lady bug cake. Here I have carved an 8", 6", 4" cake to create the body of the bug. The head was baked in a small half ball pan.
While the marble cake was baking, I created the antlers, eyes, mouth and dots from fondant and left them to dry overnight ( they do not dry like gumpaste, but do get stiff enough to hold shape and handle without damage. This allows the children to eat all the parts of the cake.) The next morning I filled the cake with buttercream and carved the body.
The parts where covered in fondant and adorned with the prepared embellishments. The split in the wings is done using fresh cut fondant, so that it would drape the shape of the cake. A grass tip was used around the lady bug and a no. 2 round tip was used for the message.
