Baby Rump Cake

by Michaela Rodriguez
(Imperial, MO)

I used the half ball pan (or you can use a Pyrex bowl) to make the baby's bottom.

Cover the rump in icing and then white fondant. The baby bottom is on top of a 12 inch round cake (to feed more people).

I used the cake scraps from the round cake to make the legs.

I carved them to be rounded, then covered the legs in icing and then flesh colored fondant.

I formed the feet out of rice krispy treats, covered them in thick fondant and made fondant toes.I then used a knife to make indentations in the feet as wrinkles.

I rolled out some fondant and decorated it for the blanket, then just placed it on top of the rump.

I frilled a small piece of white fondant and placed it along the top of the leg to look like diaper frill.

It is normal when you are finished to find yourself talking to the little tyke. I couldn't help myself!
