Pregnant Belly Cake

I made this for my friend Kelly's shower, when she was pregnant with her son , Tyler.

The belly was baked in a mixing bowl, her head and...um...chest area...was created with cupcakes. I carved her arms out of scrap cake.

Her belly looked like a big blue expanse, so I thought I'd add a little pink heart to break it up.

There was (and still is) a lot of love for that little baby. He's now almost 1 year old! Maybe I'll get to bake him a birthday cake...
