Baby Boy Christening Cake - Quilted Blanket & Teddy Bear - 012112

Lots of firsts on this cake. It's our first time to do a 3-tiered cake in squares. It's also our first to do quilted pattern in squares - chocolate brown and pale blue. It's also our first to create diamond-shaped design sort of like the cable shirts popular nowadays. It's also our first time to decorate the cake board with decorative paper, which we covered with contact paper. This was an idea we got from Peggy Does Cake.  If there's anything about this cake, it's undoubtedly for a baby boy.

The teddy bear made of combination gum paste and fondant for easy drying holds a quilted blanket. Funny how the baby boy's older brother took the head and ate it. The mom wanted to preserve it, but, it's headless for now. We think the boy ate the rest, too. LOL.

This 3-tier square cake ( 12", 8", 5"). First layer is a 3-layered yellow, white, yellow cake with nutella and chocolate fudge filling, the second tier is a 3-layer yellow cake with fresh strawberry filling with vanilla buttercream, and the top tier is a 3-layer yelllow cake with chocolate. nutella filling. The Teddy Bear is made of fondant mixed with some gum paste. The cake is covered in marshmallow fondant in a blue and brown theme. 72 cake pops- 18-cookies and cream, 18- red velvet, 18- vanilla infused with strawberry, and 18- rocky road. 24 cupcakes in yellow cake with choco fudge frosting topped with cute outs of a blue bear's head. 

We received great feedback from the mom, family members, and friends who were guests at the reception.
