Sleeping Ladybug Baby Cake

This sleeping ladybug baby cake design is made with a regular sheet cake for the base. I used a half oval pan for the body and covered it with buttercream frosting and then a layer of fodant over the top. I used a small metal bowl to bake the cake for the head. I placed a thin layer of fondant over an Anne Geddes babydoll face and let it dry. Then I placed it with frosting over the head part of the cake. Next I placed the black fondant over the whole head to make the mask. I made flowers out of fondant and sprinkled edible glitter dust on them to make them sparkle. The sign in the back says "with butterfly kisses and a ladybug hug, sleep tight little one like a bug in a rug." This cake was a big hit at my friends babyshower!
