This is cake was a proud moment for me lol I had been itching to do a baby bump cake for a long long time, i have been watching people make baby bump cakes on youtube for a while and seen it done in many different ways and i loved one that i watched where she put the foot print under the fondant to look like baby was kicking, so when i was asked to make one i knew how i wanted it to look, I wanted it girly and pretty. at the time the couple i did it for didnt know babies sex so i stuck with yellows and whites. I used alot of cake though because i wanted the bump to be as realistic as possible so i carved it down myself and instead of making the bump perfectly round i made it sort of an oval shape so it would meet up nicely with the breasts and balance out. i did the same with the breasts i carved them down so they were a nice shape, next time i do one though i will make the breasts a bit more rounded, i noticed when it was covered they look a bit flat for my liking. I loved how it all came out and how the colours tied in together and the mother was very happy with the cake too. The cake itself is chocolate with chocolate butter cream and i used fondant for the decorations. with the bow i cut out 2 strips of fondant and made sure they were the same length and width, brought each end of the strip to meet up with its opposite end and glued with water, i then put some kitchen roll screwed up into the holes of the bow for it to keep its shape, once dried i stuck the 2 loops together and used another strip of fondant to wrap around those 2 loops to form a bow, then just added 2 long strips underneath onto the cake to finish the bow look. Hope you like it, please comment below and let me know if there is anything you would of done different or any tips you have for my next baby bump cake :)
