I Was Born To Cook: Corset Cake

My sister-in-law's bachelorette party was this past weekend. When my husband's aunt, who coordinated the party, asked me to bake the cake, my mind started racing. And my fingers started googling.

I saw this, and became inspired to make this:

Va va VOOM!

I borrowed cake bowls from my friend Rebecca (local peeps, check out her cake business...she does great work!)

I decided to make a two-layer cake so I could fill it with something pink, and also so we could have more cake, because of course I was paranoid that there wouldn't be enough, as usual.

And, as usual, there was MORE than enough. So, the bachelorette got to take the boobs home to her fiance.

I used my favorite yellow cake recipe...yum. Oh and by the way, it's 3 batches worth. One for each layer, and one divided in half for the boobs.

Then, I made this icing recipe for the outside, and on the inside, I actually had some icing in the freezer from my very strawberry cupcakes that I pulled out, and added a layer of chopped fresh strawberries.

Icing the cake where I carved it wasn't easy...honestly, it wasn't easy icing it anywhere, probably because I put it on that tray beforehand. I strongly advise using a flat board or platter without "walls" so you don't run into the same problem.

I also had to use skewers in various places to hold the boobies up and together...because, you know, nobody likes saggy boobs.
