baby shower cake and cookies

this was a 12" vanilla cake with vanilla pastry cream filling. it's iced with vanilla buttercream and decorated with royal icing button, rattles, and a stroller that resembled the one on the invitation. this fed around 20-25 people. 




i also made baby bottle sugar cookies as favors. they were iced with royal icing and had a blue and pink cookie in each bag since it was gender neutral.
