Betty Boop Fondant Cake - Claire's 5th Month Cake - 02/18/12

In the month  of February, we made a cake for our littlest family member Claire. Once again, Claire's mom found the character and sent us photos for inspiration. We put our own twist to create a version that's unique. Since it's the love month and we're donating proceeds to American Heart Association this month, it is but fitting to make a cake that celebrates love. This cake is a double layered cookies and cream cake with cream cheese filling. All decorations are edible, including Bettty Boop.

Betty Boop is a beloved character that doesn't age. She's lovable and sexy. Portraying her in a fondant for baby Claire's 5th month cake is such a delight. There aren't many tutorial on making her figure, so we have decided to make our own. Please check our Tutorials page for the link on how we made this lovable character.

We made Betty Boop in a combination of gumpaste and fondant. We used fondant for the hair and dress. The cake has a checkerboard pattern with hearts wired to serve as backdrop for Betty Boop.
