When it comes to adorable cakes, there are none more adorable than baby cakes and christening cakes. And our feature cake above by Louise Jackson Cake Design captures this perfectly.
What makes this baby model so life-like is the expert colouring applied, as well as the beautifully crafted sugar rose the baby is cradled in.
To recreate this baby model, First Impressions have a wonderful sleeping baby mold
available here and you’ll find an excellent tutorial here from Happy Cakes by Renee on colouring/adding depth and skin tone to the model: baby model tutorial.
