Kate's Cake

I really love making baby shower cakes. There is just something about them, it does not matter if it's for a boy or for a girl, I can make them as sweet and cute as I want to. Lenae and I had a discussion that the cake is really not for the baby, it's for the mom, so you can't go too girly.

This cake was for Lenae's little sister who is having her second baby, we had a BBQ and a little party while her family was here for a visit.

Kate likes cherry blossoms, so I used that as my base. I was wondering what a masculine "Maggie" cake would be called. A "Magnus" cake???

In the usual manner of planning my cakes, the idea to use the bird family came to me as I was lying in bed the night before.

The cherry blossoms worked their way around the whole cake, and it looks like I've perfected that robin's egg blue I love so much (a little bit of teal Wilton's dye, and an even bittier bit of sky blue).

They already have another boy-child, so I thought it would be a good idea to include him in the little bird family.
