showering baby Sage



Wow! I haven't been very cupcake-creative since August!  I was so excited to dive back into my kitchen and get baking for a baby shower!  I had a lot of fun experimenting with gum paste in August so I did it again with this cake by rolling out tiny baby items and molding a piece onto a paper umbrella to create the parasol.  Edible markers were definitely easier to use to color my objects than painting them with food coloring.  

I baked a banana cardamom cake which was fragrant and yummy with a cream cheese white chocolate buttercream frosting.  I made additional minis and some regular size super chocolate cupcakes with lindor truffles hidden inside.  The cakes were a hit! the shower a success! and we are all excited to meet this little man soon :)
