So one niece got married at the start of the summer, and my other niece is expecting her first little boy in September at the end of the summer! We are so excited for her and when baby shower planning came along, of course I had to jump in! She loves the ocean and selected a little whale/ nautical theme for her little sailor. So, I started scouring Pinterest for as many cute little whale cakes as I could find. They came out so cute and I was quite proud of myself :)
I did three cakes, two vanilla, and one tiered chocolate cake. I made a 9 inch four layer cake covered in vanilla buttercream turquoise rosettes, a smaller 6 inch 4 layer cake that I covered in turquiose fondant and made to look like a little whale, and the larger tiered cake made of chocolate that I covered in a light blue fondant, fondant waves, and a little whale topper with pink cheeks. He came out so cute. She was very pleased with all the decorations and we are excited to meet her little bundle. I too am expecting and this was very special as she is my God-Daughter and we are due a day apart!
Welcome Liam David!
