Well, my best friend had to have a California baby shower! Since I was co-hosting this one with her fabulous step mom, Julie...I wanted to go all out. After doing the more traditional tiered Winnie the Pooh cake for her Vegas shower, I definitely knew I wanted to do a carved cake for this one. But I had to incorporate two elements, so I could have some gluten free cake and some regular cake. I decided to do a giant honey pot with cupcakes that had little bees on them. Half way through....it was missing something. It needed Pooh....but how to incorporate him? That is how we came up with him falling into the honey, just his butt showing...put a little bee on top and....tah dah! It was a smash hit and got raving reviews! I was so happy I could do something extra special for my very best friend, Lindsay and her husband Simon and of course...baby Ava Jai!
I love the cake. Just curious, what did you make the Pooh out of?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering if you could tell me what Winnie the Pooh was made out of. Is he made of cake or icing or gumpaste?
ReplyDeletethanks
Nicole.
Jana how did you make pooh? Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi guys! The Pooh was made from rice krispies and hand sculpted...which wasn't too hard...Then I spackled him with frosting to smooth out the bumps, then covered hime in fondant. I secured him to the cake with a bit of frosting and skewers. Hope that helps!
ReplyDeletedid you cover the whole pooh in fondant or did you do the legs separately then attach and smotth out?
ReplyDeleteWonderful cake and what is pooh doing in that jar...LOL.Nice work.
