This cake was Neopolitan: Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry Cake Layers with some Raspberry filling between the Vanilla and Strawberry. And the rest is Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream - yum! This flavor combination idea came from Martha Stewart's Wedding Cakes book.The ball was 4 layers of lemon butter cake. And all other decorations were made out of sugarpaste.
I also pulled up some of my old baby block cakes. This one is from a couple years ago - it was for my sister's baby shower. It was also a Neopolitan Cake.
Ah Memories... this is one of my very early cakes from a few years ago - I must've spent about 10 hours on it and I think I only charged $40 for it. I think it was vanilla cake and marshmallow fondant.ha ha - for some reason I used buttercream for some of the decorations over the fondant and I really should have ironed my tablecloth. Well, you gotta start somewhere! :-)

Hi about how much fondant did you use to cover the baby block cake? What were the dimensions and how many servings?
Hi Shani,
Sorry - I can't remember how much fondant I used for the 3 baby blocks cake - it was so long ago. But I'm pretty sure that each block was 5" x 5" x 5" - so I guess that might be 15 servings per cake depending on how big you slice it.
