This cake was done for a couples baby shower that had a storybook theme. Emily (for whom I made the guitar luau cake and stylish mommy cake) had the cutest ideas, such as "Three Little Pigs in a Blanket." We didn't want anything too pastel or babyish, since it was a couples shower...
So I threw out the wacky idea to do a stack of storybooks. All the little "baby classics" that should be read over and over to wee ones, including the mommy-to-be's favorite, Go, Dog, Go. Emily was up for it, and I am so glad! I LOVE how it came out!
6 individual cakes, all sour cream pound cake with buttercream frosting and fondant accents. Each book has a fondant figure to match-- the car from Go, Dog, Go, a model of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, a heart for Guess How Much I Love You, moon and stars from Goodnight Moon, and a falling Humpty Dumpty from Mother Goose. On top, an open story book with a special message for the couple.
