Sophie Moon's Baby Shower

My coworker Trecia was getting ready to have her first baby, and she asked me to make the baby shower cake.  Of course I jumped at the chance to help her out.  The baby's name was going to be Sophie Moon, so she wanted the cake to be girlie and in the shape of a moon, but she didn't have any requests other than that.

Since it's Spring, I suggested she go with a light, fruity flavor.  I went with Lemon Lust cake with raspberry whipped cream and lemon curd fillings.  Mmm...

After the cake was baked and frosted, I had to add a few girlie touches.  A bedtime teddy bear, a little baby blanket, and some blocks did the trick.
 


To make it extra special, some stars were added around the cake.



I am happy to report that Miss Sophie Moon was born a little while ago, and mommy and baby are healthy.  Congrats!
