Rocking Horse Baby Shower Cake

I made this adorable pink rocking horse baby shower cake for my cousin’s shower a few weeks ago. She loves horses so when her mom decided to make rocking horses the theme of the shower it was perfect!

The bottom (9 inch round) tier was almond cake with chocolate raspberry ganache filling & frosting (the same flavor I made for their wedding cake). I covered it in white fondant and added pink fondant polka dots in three different sizes. The top tier (6 inch round) was lemon cake with lavender buttercream filling & frosting. I covered this tier in a matching pink fondant and decorated it with white strips. Both tiers have a brown fondant ribbon border.

The cake was topped with a patchwork rocking horse.
