A friend of mine threw a baby shower for one of her old college roommates this weekend and I was honored to bake the cake. From what I understand, they originally thought the baby was going to be a boy and they planned on doing a rubber ducky themed party. But they later found out baby is a girl after all. But they already had the idea of rubber duckies stuck in their heads and wanted to stick with that theme. So, my friend throwing the party searched high and low and eventually found a girly rubber ducky theme. She sent me a picture of one of the signs that came in the stationary and asked me to bake a cake that matched.
The cake was a strawberry/vanilla marble cake. The filling was strawberry and the frosting was cream cheese. For the decorations, I used my homemade fondant recipe. We talked about what should go on top of the cake and my friend really liked the pennant banner I had used on the Sprinkles Cake a couple weeks ago. The stationary she found for the party included some similar pennants that she planned to use as decoration, so the idea for the cake worked perfectly.
I added some small pink bows to the top of the sticks to give it a bit of girly finishing. And, voila!
