Buggy Baby Shower Cake Design - Handles and Wheels, Cut them out!

You can refer to the cake picture at the beginning of this page as a guide while assembling the cake.

Here we go!

Firstly, you should blend and mix all of the above ingredients for 2 minutes on low speed.

Next, pour them into two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans at 350 centigrade for 20-25 minutes. Then cool for 10 minutes before you remove the cakes from pans to wire racks to cool completely.

Ok, let's cut out the cakes for the handles and wheels!

Cut out one cake and remove one-fourth of it in one wedge, and you have the buggy shape! Then just set wedge aside and place buggy on covered board, which is perfect.

From the rounded side of the re-served wedge, cut a 3-1/2-inch long x 1-1/4-inch-wide slightly curved shape for the handle. Then, cut two 3-3/4-inch circles for the wheels from the second cake.

You should be very careful to place the cake handles and wheels next to the cake buggy on the covered board.

Buggy Baby Shower Cake Design - Insert Pastry Tips and More Piping Work

Cut a hole in the corner of a pastry of plastic bag and insert the basket-weave pastry tips and remaining white frosting.

Pipe one vertical line overlapped by several short horizontal lines.

Repeat this process, make the horizontal lines alternate and connect the vertical lines, until the entire bottom section has a basket-weave pattern.

Again, cut a hole in another bag and insert star tip and pink frosting. Then pipe a rope border around the handles, wheels and hood, and pipe two dividing lines on hood.

Replace star tip with flower tip. Pipe three pink flowers in the center of buggy cake's bottom section and set aside remaining pink frosting.

You should repeat the same process using blue frosting and blue flowers for the remaining bag. The only difference is that the rope border should around the bottom section, and the flowers should be placed among the pink ones.

Finally, replace flower tip with round tip. And pipe two blue spokes, add the center on each pink flower. Then pipe two more pink ones, add to the blue flowers.
