Baby

Difficulty: Somewhat Easy

Make your own shower topper! It's easy when you use rolled fondant. Just roll out and cut the baby with our metal gingerbread boy cutter, then attach to a lollipop stick and insert in the cake. You can also make smaller sized babies using a mini gingerbread boy cutter for a cupcake.

Baby Blocks

Difficulty: Medium

Hollow blocks, constructed of 4 gum paste squares, are a fun way to camouflage pillars between tiers—the pillars bear the weight.

Baby Bottles

Difficulty: Easy

After you’ve wrapped the hidden pillar with fondant, be sure to immediately ”shave” into hexagonal sides. The fondant must be cut when soft to create a smooth shape. After shaving, use an Easy-Glide Fondant Smoother to sharpen the corners on each side.
