Mondrian Inspired Baby Shower Cake


Our recent midterm cake was a baby shower themed cake. Originally I was hoping to do a cake that we can really expand our creativity. Since the class has voted baby shower, I decided that I would incorporate my original idea into this project.
Mondrian uses beautiful primary colors and monochromatic colors in his paintings; so I decided that I would recreate the feel for the side design of the cake. To emphasis that it is a baby shower cake, I used marzipan to create a basket and piped basket weave with royal icing on the basket. On top it's a blanket with fondant strip cut outs. The baby girl dress is made with fondant, decorated with Swiss dot royal icing and lace point.

A Quick Update




It's been a while since I last updated. Here are the works that I've done in class in last few weeks. Tomorrow we are starting sugar paste flower with Chef Ron; it's going to be fun!
