A slightly inappropriate post...enter at your own risk :P

A swim team baby shower...

One of my bestest friends, Denise, asked me to make her a small cake and cupcakes for a baby shower her swim team is throwing for a teammate.   She asked that it be swim themed but baby girl-ish, too.  After about a month of googling, thinking and brainstorming, I came up with an idea for the cupcakes. 


They asked for purple, hence the purple frosting.  


The ducks are made of homemade fondant that took a little while to get to the right colors.  I definitely recommend gel food coloring when using fondant.  Much more vibrant colors.  I used a food coloring pen for the eyes and to fill in the goggles.

When it came to the cake, I was going to make a bigger ducky to go on it, but after talking to Denise last night, she made a special request.  This is what she came up with.  Slightly irreverent but very hilarious.  She swears the girl will find it funny, and I hope she does!  I was hesitant to post this but I think the warning in the post title should be enough! 



This cake speaks for itself....there are no words....




Here is everything all together.  I hope the team has a great time celebrating the newest member of their swim team!

  1. The mommy to be here... and I LOVED it! Everything was so beautiful and cute! Everyone loved the detail and my husband (who is not a swimmer) was very correct in saying, its the only "swimmer" that counted! LOL. Thanks again for your wonderful work and tasty treats!

  5. I was there at the shower and I was shocked when I saw the cake. I actually felt my heart flutter. I was worried what people would think. Then I looked around and realized that these people take all their clothes off and jump into water. Nothing could ever gross out this group. I loved the cake,the presentation and would feel confident recommending the artist.
