Baby Cakes!

After Tina and I decided that we were going to go into this baking business together, our first "job" was to make a cake and cupcakes for a dual baby shower at Tina's work. There were two women celebrating their baby showers together, and one was having a girl while the other was having a boy.

Since there were going to be more people there than at a normal baby shower, Tina decided that we should make both cupcakes and a regular cake.

The cupcakes were chocolate and were decorated to look like baby carriages.

Here's an up close picture of each:

Then we made the cake. The woman who was having a baby girl was not a fan of traditional "girl" colors, so we decided to leave the pinks and purples off of our cake. It was a white chocolate cake with raspberry jam filling, then covered with buttercream with fondant paisleys.

Tina said that everything was a big hit at the baby shower. Everything tasted great and looked pretty darn good, especially considering it was our very first baking experience together!
