Wedding cake and Baby Blessing

  We had one of our daughters here visiting for an entire week last week with her 16 month old son Maddox and it culminated with myself helping her finish a wedding cake on Saturday.  A little bit stressful, cause we finished just minutes before we had to deliver the cake.  


I love this unusual cake, with it's curved tiers.  The two top layers were white chocolate, with raspberry filling, with light chocolate fondant, and the bottom layer was chocolate with chocolate mousse filling and chocolate fondant.  Very yummy cake because the fondant is made from scratch.   

And I finished this sweet newborn size long dress below, for the blessing dress for little Claire.  She looked so pretty wearing it.  
I can't get over this little girl's eyes.  She looks so much like her daddy, who happens to be my third child.  We love this little Claire Elise so very much!

    What a beautiful baby!!!!

    The cake is amazing, I used to do wedding cakes for about 13 years, and I've never seen a design like that. May I ask what it represents?

    Hugs,

    I know this thread is old but i hope and pray I get an answer. Is there a template for this dress or could I have one made. I Ned this dress for my baby girls blessing! I've shown a picture of this dress to Many companies and Woman but no one Will make it for me. Please help me I finally found this blog after three months. Time is running short and every dress I look at I turn my head because I have this one I'm my mind and I can't get it out.
