Butterflies and Naming days

When our lovely friends Vanessa and Justin asked for a pretty cake for their beautiful daughter Adalira on her naming day, how could I say no. Vanessa contributed with a delicious Orange and Poppy Seed cake for the base and here's what came next.

Using the sleeping baby mould from Cakes Around Town and petal paste I made a cute little baby.

 With the addition of soft shading with Barco petal dust in flesh, pale pink, pale yellow and light brown and a cute layered ruffle bum and butterfly, our sleeping baby was complete.

 She was then perched atop the yummy layers of orange and poppy seed cake with cream cheese butter cream. The night before I had punched out 100 butterflies in soft lilac hues and set them to dry. They were then swirled around the cake in a beautiful pastel mass.

 Surrounding the cakes were trays of yummy cake pops - Mocha for the grown ups and pretty pastel hued Cinnamon Donut pops for everyone!

 So all together it made a 'pretty' yummy display...
