Bridal Shower Camp Themed Cake

Camp Themed Cake

We threw a bridal shower for one of my best friends this weekend. The theme of the bridal shower was “Summer Camp” since the bride and groom met working at a day camp. The bride also used to go to sleep away camp every summer while growing up and one of her favorite camp songs was “A boy and a girl in a little canoe”. I decided to use that song as the inspiration for this camp themed cake.

I made wood grain fondant by kneading together three difference shades of brown, then used it to mold a canoe.  The boy and girl in the canoe were also hand molded out of fondant. They are wearing jeans and a white collared shirt which was similar to the uniform the bride and groom wore when they worked at the day camp. The background was a sheet of fondant that had been airbrushed to show a mountain lake by moonlight. The flavor of the cake was what I call Peppermint Patty (white peppermint cake with a chocolate swirl). It had chocolate ganache filling and chocolate buttercream frosting that was then covered in blue fondant.

Camp Themed Mini Cake

As part of the camp theme we named each table to be a different camp activity such as swimming, music, recreation, and arts & crafts. I made 4 mini cakes to go with the different table themes and made fondant decorations to go with each one.

Hi, I’m Jen

I soon rediscovered my passion for baking and cake decorating. I would always bring back new ingredients and ideas from the places I visited and incorporate them into my cake recipes. Read More…
