BABY BLOCK SHOWER OR BIRTHDAY CAKE
This idea for a cake is so sweet! This would be perfect for a baby shower or even your little ones first birthday party!! You use frozen, store-bought or homemade pound cakes cut in half to make "blocks" and then frost with "b-a-b-y" or the baby/child's name that the party is celebrating!! NOTE: the quantity of cakes and frosting depends on how many blocks you need to spell out the name.

Steps:
- Make or buy a minimum of 2 pound cakes (quantity depends on how big of a name you are spelling).
- Slice in half width-wise and shave sides and top accordingly to make a cube.
- Color appropriate amount of white frosting with food coloring to make pink, blue or whatever colors "blocks" you want.
- Frost all sides but the bottom of the blocks with the colored frosting.
- Using a frosting gun or a ziploc (with tip cut) filled with remaining white frosting - write the first letter on all sides, including the top of the block.
- Repeat with the additional "blocks" by finishing out the name you are using.
- Arrange blocks to spell out the name on a beautiful platter and getting ready for the compliments!
- NOTE: You could also bake 2 13x9 cakes and cut into cubes and make the "blocks" 2-layers stacked.
- You could get even fancier and pipe the contrasting color of frosting onto the edges/trim of the blocks to define them more.
- Or you could decorate the blocks with the white frosting and spell the baby's name out with the color-tinted frosting.
- The possibilities are endless!

- Ingredients and Tools. Buttercream is the usual crumb coat but research told me that ganache works too which was great, because 1.) It tastes amazingly good and who can have too much chocolate and 2.)
- Bake the Cakes. Using whatever cake batter you've made, bake in greased and floured pans until done. Cool on cake racks. Then cut them to create 8 similar sized squares.
- Gum Paste. You can buy gum paste already made and coloured. In order to have the number of colours you'll need, you will have to buy a lot of gum paste, although I suppose you could just do all the letters the same colour, in which case, go ahead.
- Cutting the Letters. Once the colours were mixed, I rolled out the pieces one at a time on the board, again using icing sugar to keep things from sticking.
- Covering the Cakes With Fondant. Time to take the cakes out of the fridge. I used my bench scraper to smooth off the cakes and then added a skim coat of ganache.
